Three people killed, 86 hurt as rockets pound northern Israel [ AND SYRIA ]
Jerusalem Post ^ | 8/4/6 | JPost.com staff

Three people were killed and at least 86 more were wounded, one critically and five seriously, as rockets landed across the North on Friday.

A barrage of rockets landed near Karmiel just before 6 p.m., killing two people in the villages of Majdal Krum and Dir el-Assad.

Meanwhile, rockets fired by Hizbullah on Friday evening landed near the Syrian city of Kuneitra located several kilometers east of the Golan Heights. No injuries or damage were reported.

The IDF said that the firing at Kuneitra represented yet another attempt to drag Syria into the conflict.

Several long-range rockets also landed near Migdal Ha'emek on Friday evening causing no injuries or damage.

Earlier, a Hizbullah-fired rocket killed a 27-year-old woman in Mughar, making this the third time the Druze-Muslim-Christian village was struck by rockets.

She was later identified as Manal Azzam, a mother of two young children.

According to reports, the woman heard the warning siren and entered an inner room in her home, which did not have a shelter, and was killed when the rocket directly struck the house. Two other people were seriously wounded in the town.

Elsewhere, an IDF reservist was seriously wounded by a Katyusha rocket in the Galilee. His family has been notified.

Another person was critically wounded in Kibbutz Sha'ar Yishuv near Kiryat Shmona, while in Safed, two were lightly wounded and two suffered shock. Two more people were lightly wounded by shrapnel and eight suffered from shock in the village of Hurfeish in the upper Galilee.

The Home Front Command ordered residents across the North to remain in shelters or protected areas.

Police commander Dan Ronen said 70 rockets crashed into towns across the north in under an hour. A total of 135 rockets were fired at northern Israel by Friday afternoon.

Warning sirens sounded all over the North shortly before the barrage, from Safed to Acre and Zichron Ya'akov. Sirens were also heard in the Golan Heights.

Earlier Friday, rockets landed in the Kiryat Shmona area. No one was wounded in that attack.

On Thursday, over 180 rockets were fired at northern Israel, killing eight civilians and wounding many others.

How it should be written.

Three Israeli civilians were killed and at least 86 more Israeli civilians were wounded, one civilian critically and 5 civilians seriously, as Hezbollah rockets landed indiscriminately with no intention of targeting military targets, but launched to commit terror and kill and injure only civilians, across the North on Friday.

Most of them have awakened. But I think it will take a nuke for Uri Avnery, Shulamit Aloni, Yossi Beilin, Larry Derfner, and Gideon Levy.

Comparable to a very concentrated storm with resultant lightning strikes and mud slides.

But those are acts of God, and blame would not be attributed to any human agency.

What is happening in Israel is an act of Hezbollah, very much a volitional attack of humans against other humans, with the blame placed squarely upon the perpetrators.

As the prime means by which Israelis are to be forced to vacate the Middle East altogether, Hezbollah seems to be a rather feeble vessel into which the rest of the Muslims may place their trust and reliance.

It seems like they're killing a lot of Israeli Arabs, they need to aim better, LOL.

But they are new Muslim heroes. Destroying their own nation is a small price to pay for jewish blood to these monsters.

Are you kidding? They lock retarded Lebanese children into an apartment house from where they are launching rockets, knowing what the response will be.

Hannity said a poll says most Democrats are NOT backing Israel but are neutral.

Is that posted on FR somewhere?
