Hezbollah launches more rockets on Affoulah
2006-08-03
(KUNA) -- Hezbollah said it launched more Khaibar-1 rockets Wednesday on the Israeli city of Affoulah. The Lebanese party said in a statement that its fighters also destroyed a fifth Israeli tank during the Israeli army advance into the Lebanese town of Aita Al-Shaab.

Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes raided several Lebanese areas including Al-Naqar, Khraj, Beir Al-Salasil and Sultania. The Israeli army also shelled other Lebanese areas including Safad Al-Battikh, Jomayjmah, Tibnin and the surroundings of the Tahrir Educational Complex in Southern Lebanon. Lebanese security forces said that 17 people were killed and 16 injured in the Israeli attack on Baalbak last night.

#1  this is usually transliterated from Hebrew as "Afula" and is an Israeli town just north of the 1949 ceasefire line from the West Bank town of Jenin.

In case anyone was confused.
