9 killed in rocket attack on HaifaGAMLA: News and Views from Israel
Attack on north resumes: Rockets fired by Hizbullah terrorists from Lebanon land in Haifa; police say nine killed, dozens injured in strike. Israel TV reports of casualties in city. Nahariya, Kiryat Bialik also targeted; additional Katyushas apparently strike Akko area
A siren was heard across Haifa Sunday after a Katyusha rocket fell in the area. Security forces said at least ten Katyusha rockets fell on the Haifa area.
Police said that nine people have been killed and dozens have been injured.
Police say nine people have been killed at the train depot. The rescue of the injured is being delayed after many people abandoned their vehicles due to rockets, leaving them on the road to the Rambam hospital.
The Katyusha barrage also struck Naharia, Kiryat Bialik (check post), Akko, and Rosh Hanikra.
The simultaneous attack took place shortly after 9 a.m. in the morning. Phone networks in the area have been affected.
Ofir from Haifa said: "I see the train depot downtown, on the train tracks. There were four hits and smoke is rising. Hizbullah apparently aimed for the oil refineries."
Karen from Haifa said: "We heard a rocket explode in the harbor area and then in the port."
Over 700 rockets have been fired since the beginning of fighting on the northern border, and the IDF does not rule out that the rockets may reach further south than Haifa. "Areas south of Haifa will receive an advanced warning in the form of a siren," Home Front Commander Yitzhak Gershon said.

You are thinking outside the box and this is a major concern for IDF/Israel. Kidnappings. Threats to take the kidnapped soldiers to Iran. Silkworm missiles. Killing Israelis in Haifa with rockets. Israel has been shocked. This is good and will bring seriousness to Israel and IDF.
Thanks for info. Haifa is major petrochemical and industrial city. Makes sense it will have lots of rail lines for industry
LOL... CNN is back to regular programming. CNN International is gone along with the Haifa coverage
GO ISRAEL! WE ARE WITH YOU IN AMERICA. THOSE WHO ARE NOT WITH YOU LOVE TERRORISM AND SUPPORT IT. IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

Four more rockets land in Haifa
By JPOST.COM STAFF
Four more missiles landed in Haifa late Sunday morning.
Firefighters were on the way to the scene
Iran has been the author of terror for years. They adore terror. Saddam was a bush league punk compared to the blood stained Ayatollahs. Iran loves using proxies to fight against Israel. I think the Iranian Shiites are trying to stake a claim to leadership of the Muslim world by defeating Israel. Only 10% of Muslims are Shiite.
Can Shiite Iran become the leader of the 90% Sunni Muslim world?? Tune in and find out
"Iran has been the author of terror for year."
I agree.

OOoooohhhhhhh .... DUmmy learned a new catch phrase "false flag operation"
Read the comments at DU. No one went along with the DUmmy's claim of a"false flag" operation. That Israel actually attacked Haifa today killing 9 Israelis

Fajar rockets being fired in addition to Katyushas
By JPOST.COM STAFF
IDF sources revealed that the seven rockets that landed in Haifa on Sunday morning were Fajar rockets, and not Katyushas. The Fajar rockets have a range of around 40 kilometers and carry more explosive material than Katyusha rockets.
OC Northern Command Udi Adam said that the IDF was attacking the areas from which the Hizbullah was firing the missiles. He said the targeted attacks were complicated by the large number of Lebanese civilians in the area in south Lebanon.
I just saw this on www.ynetnews.com
Northern Command: heavy bombardment to begin in southern Lebanon
In an interview to a northern Israel radio station, the head of IDF Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Udi Adam, said that "Sunday morning, we told residents of southern Lebanon to evacuate their towns, as we intend to begin a heavy bombardment in the area."

Iran hates the Bahai and have routed them. The Ayatollahs view them as competitors with pervy prophet's cult.

All the more reason for them to be rocketing Haifa. IMHO that has to be one of the more beautiful buildings in the world.
