On the 31st day of the war, Hizbullah fired a Khaibar-1 rocket at Haifa. The explosion of the 302 mm rocket, at 10 am on Friday, echoed as far south as Hadera, several dozens miles south of Haifa.
 
A barrage of several long-range Katyusha rockets landed in the city, with one of the rockets slamming in the midst of the coastal highway, near Zim Integrated Shipping Services new coastal headquarter. The explosion caused severe damage to the outer glasses but no injuries were reported.
