Fajar rockets being fired in addition to Katyushas
By JPOST.COM STAFF

IDF sources revealed that the seven rockets that landed in Haifa on Sunday morning were Fajar rockets, and not Katyushas. The Fajar rockets have a range of around 40 kilometers and carry more explosive material than Katyusha rockets.

OC Northern Command Udi Adam said that the IDF was attacking the areas from which the Hizbullah was firing the missiles. He said the targeted attacks were complicated by the large number of Lebanese civilians in the area in south Lebanon.

If these attacks into Hafia are not properly responded to it will further embolden Hizbullah and co. and the next strikes we may see could be downtown TelAviv

I know these pictures are "out there" and the TV stations are sending live feeds - but they should be stopped. This is helping the enemy.

The Raad missiles are Irans Short Range missiles.

i'm being to think there are some forward spotters in the Hafia area. I don't believe the guidance systems on these weapons are sophisticated enough to hit specific areas within a large city

They are being responded to. Targets in Beirut and Southern Lebanon are being bombed right now.

Israel should just hurry up and get it over with. Don't show restraint. Don't hold back. That means WWIII (heavily involving us of course) but it's inevitable. Hurry up and get it over with. That's my feeling. Otherwise ALL of this is going to just drag on and on and on...

You may be right - is it possible to phone Beirut from Haifa?

But the TV companies are doing their best to help out as well.
