KIRYAT SHMONA, Israel, April 10 (AFP) - Mortar shells fired from southern Lebanon fell on northern Israel early Wednesday but no casualties were reported, military sources said.

The mortars fell in a region called the Galilee Panhandle near the town of Kiryat Shmona, they said.

JERUSALEM - Hizbullah fired more than a dozen rockets and mortars from Lebanon into the Golan Heights and the Galilee panhandle on Wednesday in one of the biggest cross-border attacks since Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon two years ago.

At least one person was injured in an Israeli army post along the frontier, police and army officials said.

More than a dozen Soviet-made Katyusha rockets were fired in the barrage.

Israeli leaders have held Syria, the main power in Lebanon, responsible for guerrilla attacks on northern Israel, and have said they would retaliate if the rocketÝfire did not stop.
