One fell next to my friends daughters house.

Five people were lightly wounded when terrorists in Lebanon on Thursday morning fired several Katyusha rockets at the area of Nahariya in northern Israel.

It was unclear whether the rockets were fired by Hizbullah or whether the attack was the making of Palestinian organizations in Lebanon acting in solidarity with Hamas.

Channel 10 reported that the IDF fired 5 shells at targets in southern Lebanon in response.

on Wednesday, Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah stepped up his rhetoric against Israel, warning that the IDF could not destroy Hamas and that Israel would suffer another "defeat" should it attack Lebanon.

In a speech broadcast on Arab media channels, Nasrallah vowed to crush any offensive Israel might launch against Hizbullah.

Israel has warned Hizbullah against igniting a second front, saying it would retaliate massively.

In late December, The Lebanese army discovered and defused eight Katyusha rockets that had been placed near the southern town of Nakoura and were about to be fired at Israel.

The 107-millimeter projectiles were fitted with timers and were defused "a short while before the time set for their launching," according to the Lebanese news site Naharnet.
