Three rockets fired from Lebanon hit north Israel; IDF returns fire

[oberliner]

At least three Katyusha rockets fired from Lebanon hit northern Israel on Wednesday morning, reigniting fears of a second front opening during Israel's offensive against Hamas in Gaza.

The Israel Defense Forces responded soon after, firing a number of artillery shells at "the source of fire" in southern Lebanon, the army said. Lebanese security officials said a total of eight shells were fired.

The Israel Police said the rockets landed in open areas and there were no reports of damage or injuries. People in northern Israel were asked to head to bomb shelters.

Lebanese television reported that four rockets had been launched from an area close to the south Lebanon town of Hasbaya.
