BREAKING NEWS: Hizbollah rockets murdered eight people in northern Israel today, equaling the most lethal barrage launched by the Lebanon terror group since fighting began. The deaths, in the cities of Acre and Maalot, raised the numbers of people killed by rocket fire from Lebanon during the current conflict. More than 100 rockets struck in the late afternoon, killing eight people and wounding dozens, police said. It was the highest number of Israeli dead in a rocket attack since eight people were killed in the port city of Haifa on July 16. On a road outside Maalot, Israel cars came to a screeching stop and motorists ran for cover in ditches at the sound of multiple explosions. Smoke rose over the town and a nearby forest. "People have been holed up in shelters -- it is difficult, but people understand that soldiers are still fighting in Lebanon and we will get through this period," Acre Mayor Shimon Lancry said on Israel Channel 2 television.
