A Katyusha rocket fired from Lebanon on Saturday nearly hit home in Israel’s western Galilee region, injured three family members in that home and damaged the building.
A second Katyusha was said to have landed in Lebanon. Israel fired into southern Lebanon. No warning sirens went off and no group claimed responsibility for firing the rockets.
Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said Lebanon was committed to implementing UN Security Council resolution 1701, which ended a month-long war between Israel and Hizballah in 2006, but blamed Israel’s counter attack for threatening the area's.
"Prime Minister Siniora (said) the rockets launched from the south threaten security and stability in this region and are a violation of resolution 1701, and these issues are rejected, condemned and denounced ... Israeli artillery (fire is an) inexcusable violation of Lebanese sovereignty," the statement said.
Hizballah denied involvement in the attack.
