Rocket attack on northern Israel from Lebanon

A rocket attack was launched on northern Israel from the southern Lebanese border area of Habariyeh early Wednesday and the Jewish state immediately retaliated, a security official in the area told AFP.

"Between one and three rockets were launched from an area four kilometers west of the village of Shebaa and Israel responded within a minute with four rockets that landed north of Ghajar," the official said.
