NAHARIYA, Israel (AP) — Hezbollah has launched more than 100 rockets across a wider and deeper area of northern Israel. Some of the rockets landed near the city of Haifa. The sides appeared to be spiraling toward all-out war following months of escalating tensions. The rocket barrage overnight and into Sunday set off air raid sirens. It sent thousands of people scrambling into shelters. The Israeli military said rockets had been fired “toward civilian areas.” The situation pointed to a possible escalation after previous barrages had mainly been aimed at military targets. Israel launched hundreds of strikes on what it said were militant targets. One person was killed and another wounded in southern Lebanon. At least four people were wounded by shrapnel in Israel.
