Three Patriot anti-missile missile systems deployed in Haifa. Tiberias hit by a second Hizballah rocket barrage amid heavy damage from first

Five people injured in the earlier five-rocket volley.

Our military sources doubt whether the Patriots, positioned in an Israeli city for the first time in three years, are much effective against Hizballah rockets.

Their deployment may be intended as a morale booster.

The last time they were brought out for the US invasion of Iraq, to guard against another missile attack by Saddam Hussein.

The patriot is great against ballistic missiles, but is in no way designed to shoot down those type of small b-los rockets.
