| Rockets fired from Lebanon at Israel |
| 2009-01-14 |
| THREE rockets fired from Lebanon slammed into northern Israel early today in the second such attack in less than a week that comes amid a devastating war in the Gaza Strip, officials said. "Three rockets landed outside Kiryat Shmona,'' a town at the border between Israel and Lebanon, Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. In Lebanon, a security official said that one or more rockets were launched into the Jewish state from the southern Lebanese border area of Habaniyeh and that the army retaliated. "Between one and three rockets were launched from an area 4km west of the village of Shebaa and Israel responded within a minute with four rockets that landed north of Ghajar,'' the official said. The attack comes on the 19th day of a massive Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip - which has sparked widespread outrage across the Muslim world - and less than a week after a similar attack. On January 8 three rockets slammed into northern Israel from inside Lebanon, lightly wounding two Israelis in an attack in which the Hezbollah Shiite militia denied any involvement. The projectiles sowed panic on both sides of the border as it sent echoes of the 2006 war between Israel and Lebanon, which broke out amid Israel's last major offensive in Gaza. According to analysts in Lebanon, last week's incident was likely carried out by a radical Palestinian faction but with the tacit approval of Hezbollah. "Nothing happens in the south without Hezbollah's knowledge,'' said Osama Safa, head of the Lebanese Centre for Policy Studies. |
