Lebanese terrorists fired volleys of rockets all over northern Israel on Thursday, killing one Israeli and wounding eleven. The woman, 40, was killed when her apartment on the fifth floor of a building in the northern border town of Nahariya was struck by a Katyusha rocket, medics said. Most of the wounded were not seriously hurt.
Across Israeli border towns, and deep into the Galilee, thousands of residents spent the night in underground shelters. At Nahariya Hospital, patients were moved to secure rooms on lower floors, hospital officials said.
Rockets hit Galilee towns of Meron, near Rosh Pinna, Mahanayim, and Beit Hillel. Volleys of Katyushas continue through the morning. At no time in recent years have rockets hit so deeply in Israel's northern region.
Routine activities such as summer camps have been suspended throughout the north. Residents in the largest town, Kiryat Shmonah, and smaller communities along the border, have been instructed to enter bomb shelters.
