JERUSALEM - One person was killed, and seven others injured in a rocket attack from Lebanon on Israel's northern city of Safed on Wednesday, said Israel's emergency service.

As medics scanned buildings that were hit by the rocket fire, the body of a woman was discovered, said Eli Bin, director general of Magen David Adom emergency service, adding that seven other people suffered moderate to light injuries.

Israel Defense Forces confirmed in a statement that militants in Lebanon fired at least five rockets at the Upper Galilee in northern Israel, triggering air raid sirens.
