Rockets hit Nazareth, killing three people according to police reports. Rockets also land in Afula, Haifa area, Nahariya, Carmiel, Safed, Tiberias and Jezreel Valley. One of the rockets lands near security facility

Three people were killed in Nazareth after a rocket barrage hit the town. Rockets were also fired at Nazrat Illit and Afula.

Four rockets fell in Tiberias and its surroundings earlier Wednesday. A number of people suffered from shock.

A rocket exploded in a house, but no one was injured.

A brush fire was set off in open fields on the city's outskirts.

In one of the heaviest barrages fired at Israel since fighting broke out last Wednesday, a handful of rockets landed in Safed.

A house suffered a direct hit, but no one was injured. Five rockets also fell on Ma'alot, with one hitting a house. No injuries were reported. Rockets were also fired at Kiryat Shmona.

Earlier, a rocket fired by Hizbullah hit a house in the city injuring four people: one moderately and three lightly.

Sirens were sounded in the northern city of Haifa and its surroundings at noon Wednesday.

At the same time, four rockets fell in open fields in Nahariya.

About 10 rockets exploded in Hatzor Haglilil, Rosh Pina and Emek Jezreel sparking brush fires; two rockets also fell in Kiryat Shmona.

No damage or injuries were reported.

Earlier in the day a barrage of rockets landed in the Haifa area Tuesday morning. One rocket landed in an empty home in the city; two people sustained light shrapnel injuries. The remaining rockets landed in open areas.

Israel is going after targets, Hizballah is firing aimlessly. Where is the outrage? What about innocent women and children?Where is the U.N.?

Good point. It's really impressive what deep respect these Muslims show for their revered prophet Isa, isn't it?

Why aren't the Israelis sending rocket barrages into Teheran and Damascus? Their civilians should bear the brunt of this war, as it is their leaders who have sponsored it.

Iran and Syria are ready and willing to fight this war right down to the last Lebanese.

I think John Bolton's comments at the UN show a clear shift of this administration from previous Presidents when he said something to the effect,"How do you get a cease-fire with a terrorist organization. It is not like getting one with a state intrest." I think the administration is being wise here to basically stay out and let Israel take this fight to a group who has needed taking out for a long time.

Please excuse the ignorance, but does anyone know how big of a rocket we are talking about here?

BINGO!

Which is exactly why Israel should start targeting Teheran and Damascus.

3 killed in rocket barrage on Nazareth

In the words of the band which took it's name from there, "Now you're messin' with a Son of a B!tch."

I've always thought that one thing which frames the Arab/Israeli conflict is that the Israeli Arabs have never constituted a 5th column. You never hear that mentioned, that Arabs in Israel are much happier with their situation than Arabs living under Arab rule.
