JERUSALEM - Hezbollah guerrillas fired more than 300 rockets from Lebanese border towns into northern Israel on Wednesday, Lebanese security officials said, including one that hit the West Bank for the first time.
Israel medics said that rocket hit near the town of Beit Shean, about 42 miles from the border, which makes it the deepest rocket strike into Israel so far. Witnesses said it struck between the West Bank villages of Fakua and Jalboun, causing no injuries.
Hezbollah said it was a Khaibar-1 rocket, which Israel claims is Iranian-made.
Israeli police and rescue services said at least 84 rockets were fired by Hezbollah at towns across northern Israel. The Israeli reports said at least seven people were wounded.
The discrepancy in the number of launches could not immediately be reconciled.
An Associated Press reporter standing on a hilltop overlooking the Lebanese border town of Kfar Kila, about 1 1/2 miles from Israel, saw outgoing rockets fly overhead and across the Israeli border.
They were fired from a region in southeastern Lebanon that includes Khiam, Marjayoun and Ibl el-Saqi — all within about three miles of the Israeli border and the scene of heavy ground fighting and artillery shelling in the past two days.
Plumes of black smoke rose from the hills above Kfar Kila and the nearby village of Adeisse, where the thud of Israeli artillery was constant. Shells were falling about once every two minutes.
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
SNORT.
But this shows a 4 mile buffer zone would be joke.
when they hit two Israeli Arab children in Nazareth, they said the children are now martyrs. that's how they justify and glorify their murderous actions.
Hezbians and Homos?
Oh, my!
