Four Katyusha rockets landed in the Galilee resort city of Tiberias, located 35 kilometers (20 miles) from the Lebanese border, on Saturday. Additional rockets landed further east and north -- in Kfar Hitim, Evron, and Abu Snan. Channel Tiwo reported that more than 60 people suffered shock and three light injuries from shrapnel.

Rockets also landed Saturday in Carmiel, Hatzor Haglilit, Peki'in, Safed, Nahariya, and Moshav Ben-Ami, in the western Galilee.

Two rockets hit empty homes in Carmiel and Safed. Another landed near Carmiel College, causing a brushfire.

Friday a woman and her 5-year-old grandson were killed and four others were injured when a Katyusha rocket slammed into a home in Moshav Meron. They had come to Meron from Nahariya, hoping to reach a safer area.
