Rockets have been launched from Israel's northern neighbor, Lebanon, into Israeli, according to reports. The attack has prompted fears of a two-front war for Israel. However it appears the rockets were not fired by Hezbollah but rather by a smaller Palestinian group with less firepower.

Three rockets have been fired from southern Lebanon into northern Israel, Israeli police have said.

There were no injuries or damage reported where they fell, in the Israeli city of Kiryat Shmona.

The Israeli army, involved in heavy fighting with Hamas in Gaza, responded with artillery.

It was the second rocket attack from Lebanon in a week. The previous one was described as an "isolated event" by Israel, which blamed Palestinians.
