Rockets hit Israel from Lebanon

Beirut, 11 Sept-(ANA)-Two rockets have been fired into northern Israel from Lebanon.

The Israeli military responded with eight shells fired into a fruit plantation near the city of Tyre, reports said.

Remnants of a Katyusha rocket were found in Israel, police said. There were no reports of casualties.

Israel and the Lebanese militant and political group Hezbollah fought a devastating 34-day war across the border in 2006.

Israeli resident Ephraim Gold, who heard the sound of up to six explosions in the city of Nahariya - some 6 miles (9.6km) from the border with Lebanon - said that the rockets had sparked panic.

"People were screaming, running away," he said. "It's been quiet here for so long, this was completely unexpected.

"The sirens went off. Everybody is in bunkers. The children had to leave their schools."

He said Israeli troops were in the area to investigate the source of the attacks. (ANA)
