THE Israeli army has fired into northern Lebanon after rockets were fired at the Jewish state.
"We carried out direct fire at the source of the rocket fire from Lebanon," an Israeli army spokeswoman said.
The army fired five shells, a military source said without clarifying the type of ordnance used.
Two people were slightly wounded, he said, adding that police sappers and bomb disposal units were working on the scene.
The rockets fell around the area of the northern town of Nahariya, where residents were called to stay inside their homes, Israeli media reported.
The rockets fell a day after the chief of Lebanon's Hezbollah warned that "all possibilities" were open against Israel amid its deadly offensive in Gaza.

I hope they know where Nasrallah is , right now.....
I doubt that Nasrallah emerges from Hizbullah bunkers much right now, but if Israel ever gets a shot or if they can take out the bunkers, they should do it. Maybe they should take out ever known bunker and Hizbullah facililty all at once — instead of playing whack-a-mole, or trying to guess where the little ball is under the cups, just blast apart every place he might be.
Bring in the B52’s. We should flatten that disgusting place.

Nuke ‘em.
Damascus, watch out!
Five shells fired back. I am thinking that they are pretty confident that they obliterated that particular source with those five shells. I too wonder what was in those shells. Israel must have been expecting and been prepared for this kind of thing from the north. They probably loaded that artillary with pretty potent stuff.
Go Israel!
Poking dangerous things with a big stick.
Hezbollah wants a ground force attack. That’s what they were looking for in ‘06, that’s what they’re hoping for now.
