Rockets hit Nazareth
Fox News Alert!!!
..and Afula...the farthest city south so far..per MSNBC
I am one of 6 students from Teaneck, New Jersey, who came to Israel for a three-week program from the UJA Federation of Bergen County to work in Nahariya in a day camp for Israelis, teaching them English. We were in Nahariya when the missiles started, and we heard the noises, and even witnessed a field that had been hit by a missile. We spent a total of about eight hours in a bomb shelter, four at night (Wednesday), and four again in the morning (Thursday), and were only then taken out when the roads were "safe enough" for a cab to take us. Where we are now is somewhat of a safer place, but we're still in the relative north. We constantly still hear the missiles hitting, and we see and hear the military planes and helicopters flying above. Initially we were going to be moved in Nazareth, but due to the escalating circumstances, our program has now been cancelled. Personally, I will still be staying in Israel until August 7 as previously planned, but I believe the rest of the kids on the program are being sent home. We're all hoping that the situation improves fast and that Israel and its people will no longer be in danger.

Israeli warplanes fired missiles Sunday at a Lebanese civil defense building in the southern port city of Tyre, killing at least nine civilians and wounding 42, security officials said.
Later, Israeli military officials said rockets fired from Lebanon hit Upper Nazareth and Afula, the farthest south so far.
