Nine casualties reported. The resort town’s high street, Gaaton Boulevard, took direct hits from four rockets, 10km from Lebanese border.
Hizballah claims 60 Katyusha and Grad rockets were fired into Israel early Thursday. Included are Kiryat Shemona, Rosh Pinah, Mishmar Hayarden, Mahanayim airfield and Kibbutz Kfar Hanassi. Some of these locations up to 20 km kilometers inside Israel have never before come under Hizballah attack. The Nahariya regional hospital has moved its wards to underground, bombproof facilities.

The new protected buffer that needs to extend out from Israel's boundaries should now be increased from 5 kilometers to at least 20 kilometers (distance of their furthest rocket).
This emptied, mostly leveled buffer (not even settlers should be allowed) would be held in conservancy for the people that lived there previously. Maybe thirty or more years (one or two generations) from now the Israelis could re-open it for inhabitation.
