Israel's missile defenses intercepted one of the projectiles and
"the rest most likely fell in open areas", the Israeli occupation
forces said. The rockets caused air raid sirens to blare in the northern
Israeli city of Haifa and areas to the east.
Security sources in Lebanon confirmed that four rockets had been
launched towards Israel from Seddiqine, a village in the region of Lebanon's
southern coastal city of Tyre.
It was not immediately clear who had fired the rockets, and there
were no reports of damage on either side.
It was the third incident of rocket fire from Lebanon since Israel aggression
on Gaza flared up on May 10.
On Monday, six shells were fired from Lebanon towards northern
Israel but fell short of the border, drawing retaliatory Israeli artillery fire.
Three rockets launched towards Israel on Thursday landed in the Mediterranean
Sea, causing no damage or casualties.
Israel fought a war in 2006 against Hezbollah guerrillas, who have
sway in southern Lebanon and access to advanced rockets. The border has been
mostly quiet since then.
Small Palestinian factions in Lebanon have fired on Israel
sporadically in the past.
