Some 85 rockets were launched from Lebanon at Haifa a short while ago, the IDF says.
It is the heaviest barrage fired at the coastal city since the start of the war.
The military says interception attempts were made, and further details are under investigation. It does not detail how many rockets were shot down.
There are no reports of injuries in the attack, but some rockets and shrapnel reportedly fell in the city, causing damage.
A fresh rocket barrage was launched toward the northern city of Haifa a short while ago.
Sirens are sounding in the city and nearby towns.
The new attack comes after some 85 rockets were already fired at the city today, in the largest barrage on Haifa amid the war, and after Hezbollah’s deputy leader Naim Qassem said in a televised address that the Iran-backed terror group’s capabilities are intact despite the “painful blows” inflicted by Israel in recent weeks.
The IDF says the majority of the approximately 85 rockets fired by Hezbollah at Haifa half an hour ago were successfully intercepted by air defenses.
But some rockets impacted the area, the IDF says, causing damage in the Haifa suburbs of Kiryat Yam and Kiryat Motzkin according to police.
IDF says 20 rockets fired at Haifa in 2nd barrage, taking morning’s total to over 100
The IDF says another 20 rockets were fired from Lebanon at the Haifa area, bringing the total number of projectiles launched by Hezbollah at the city within half an hour to over 100.
According to the military, some of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses, and some impacts were identified.
A woman in her 70s was wounded by shrapnel, and damage was caused to several homes.

Israel has shown weakness by not - (1) blasting Iran's nuclear capability and destroying their primary source of income (oil infrastructure). (2) Using tactical nukes against Hezbollah positions in Southern Lebanon and supply lines into Syria. Israel has invaded Lebanon twice before and failed. A third time is not a charm either.
