A long-range missile fired at Israel by Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon struck near the Palestinian city of Jenin on Thursday.
The projectile was aimed towards Israel’s densely populated coastal plain, but instead hit an open area outside Jenin in Samaria. No injuries were reported in the attack.
No air-raid sirens were triggered in surrounding Jewish communities as the missile did not pose a threat to residents.

On Oct. 1, several of the some 200 ballistic missiles fired at Israel by Iran hit Palestinian communities in Judea and Samaria. According to Arab reports, one Palestinian was killed by shrapnel in Nu’eima, near Jericho. Sameh al-Asali was said to have been the only fatality of Iran’s assault.
On Sept. 28, missiles from Lebanon and Yemen caused damage in the Palestinian town of Ein Yabrud, near Beit El in the Binyamin region of Samaria, and in Huwara, adjacent to Nablus in central Samaria.
Five days earlier, a Hezbollah terrorist rocket struck outside the Israeli city of Ariel in central Samaria, reportedly causing material damage to several houses in the nearby Palestinian village of Deir Istiya.
Since Hezbollah joined the war against the Jewish state in support of Hamas on Oct. 8, 2023, the Iranian-backed Lebanese terrorist organization has fired more than 12,400 rockets, missiles and drones.
Jerusalem has escalated attacks in Lebanon since adding the return of evacuated Israelis to the north as an official war goal on Sept. 17. Tens of thousands of residents of the Upper Galilee and the Golan remain internally displaced due to the cross-border attacks.
