Rockets Now Attacking Israel From Lebanon As Well

Fox News reports that in addition to the rockets targeting Israel from Gaza as many as five rockets were fired from Lebanon and exploded in northern Israel on Thursday, the first such rocket fire from Lebanon since the Jewish state launched strikes on Gaza two weeks ago, Israeli police said. Fox News writes that "the rockets reportedly struck around the town of Nahariya, 5 miles south of the Lebanese border and wounded at least one person. Israeli defense officials said the military had been on alert for rocket attacks by Lebanon's Hezbollah militia since Israel intensified its battle against Palestinian rocket squads in Gaza, on Israel's southern flank. At the same time as Thursday's northern barrage, six rockets from Gaza hit towns in southern Israel."
