Blasts rock northern Israel as rockets fired from Lebanon
[Al Ahram] Explosions were heard near Israel's northern border with Leb on Thursday, witnesses and AFP correspondents said, as Lebanese security sources said Death Eaters had fired four rockets into Israel.
Witnesses reported hearing several blasts near the northern coastal town of Nahariya.
No casualties or damage were immediately reported.
"We heard about four or five kabooms, and then the sirens went off for about a minute," a woman named Yasmin from the northern village of Klil told AFP.
A security source in Leb said that four rockets were fired at Israel from the south.
"Unknown gunnies fired four rockets from two positions, south and east of Tyre, at Israel," the source said as residents in the area said they heard four blasts.
The Israeli army said the Iron Dome defence system intercepted one rocket.
