JERUSALEM (AFP) 

Missiles fired from Iran on Friday left at least 19 people injured in the northern Israeli port of Haifa, a local hospital said, on the second week of war between the arch-foes.

Iran has been firing daily missile salvos at Israel for the past week since a wide-ranging Israeli attack on the Islamic Republic's nuclear installations and military bases triggered the war.

At least one projectile appeared to evade Israel's air defences, slamming into an area by the docks of Haifa where it damaged a building and blew out windows, littering the nearby ground with rubble, AFP images showed.

A spokesman for the city's Rambam hospital said 19 people had been injured, with one in a serious condition.
