Sirens In Northern Israel, Reports Of Rocket Fire On Lebanese Border

ISRAEL

Israel's Ynet News reporting stories of rocket sirens being heard in northern Israel from Haifa and Acre on the Med coast to Galilee in the east.

  • These would mark the first successful rocket launches into northern Israel from Lebanese territory since the outbreak of violence between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza strip 10 days ago.
  • In previous days Palestinian radicals in refugee camps in Lebanon had launched unsuccessful rocket attacks into Israel, with the missiles either falling into the sea or coming up short in Lebanese territory.
  • An escalation in attacks from the north could leave Israel fighting on two fronts, Hamas in Gaza and other Palestinian groups or Hezbollah in the north.
