A rocket attack has killed at least one person and wounded several others in the Palestinian town of Shefa’Amr in northern Israel.

Israeli authorities said a multistory building was hit by a direct strike on Monday night local time.

A woman in her 50s was found dead in the rubble of the building, where she had been sheltering, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service.

The woman named by Israeli media had an Arab name, and appears to be a Palestinian citizen of Israel, MDA said.

Rambam hospital in northern Israel said it was treating 30 patients wounded in the attack.

The Israeli military said about five projectiles had crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory.
