Missiles fired from Lebanon damage two houses in Israel

Jerusalem, July 05: Hezbollah Guerillas in southern Lebanon fired 26 anti-aircraft missiles into Israel today, damaging two homes and a parked car but causing no injuries, an army spokesman said. Fragments from some of the missiles, launched in three separate salvos, landed in the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shemona. The army would not say if any Israeli aircraft were flying in the area at the time. Hezbollah and Israel fought a bloody guerrilla war for 18 years in southern Lebanon before Israel's withdrawal in 2000. Since then, Hezbollah has fired missiles across the border especially in the area of Sheba farms, an Israeli border outpost that Lebanon continues to claim. Bureau Report
