After a day of relative calm, with the firing of lone rockets at Carmiel, Tiberias, and other areas in the Galilee, sirens have gone off again at around 5:45 p.m. in the upper Galilee.
Rockets fell near one of the kibbutzim in the Har Meron district in the Galilee. The rockets exploded in open territory and no injuries or damage were reported.
During the afternoon, at around 1 p.m., an air raid siren was heard in Haifa. No rocket attacks took place on populated areas however, and some rockets may have fallen on open territory.
Some Haifa residents told Ynet they heard explosions in the city before the siren went off.
The areas of Nahariya, Akko, and all of the western Galilee communities heard sirens, and residents were told to enter shelters.
At 5:30 a.m. Haifa residents awoke to the sounds of sirens, but they were no rocket landings in the area.
Residents of the north are currently under instructions to remain in protected structures for the seventh day in a row. Until now rockets killed 15 civilians – including two brothers killed Wednesday in Nazareth. Dozens more have been injured. 14 soldiers have been killed since Hizbullah's first attacks last Wednesday.

IAF attacked a terrorist cell in the Al-Mouazi refugee camp, in central Gaza; the terrorists apparently attempted to fire an ant-tank missile at IDF forces.
