Katyusha rockets fired from Lebanon hit northern Israel

Three Katyusha rockets fired from southern Lebanon have landed near the northern Israeli city of Nahariya, reports say.

Witnesses reported the sound of explosions and sirens wailing on Thursday near the coastal city.

According to Israeli police, the rockets landed in an open area and caused no damage or casualties.

Israeli media reports said one of the rockets was intercepted by the “Iron Dome” missile system.

Meanwhile, Lebanese media say the rockets were fired from the village of Housh in the city of Tyre.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the rocket attack that reportedly drove Tel Aviv into a state of confusion with maximum alert.
