A number of Katyusha rockets were fired at Israel from south Lebanon Tuesday. One exploded in Galilee causing slight damage but no casualties. The others fell in the security zone north of the border. They were the first Katyushas fired into Israel in two months.
Premier Yitzhak Shamir said Tuesday that there is no danger of war in the near future and he doesn’t think Syria wants a confrontation with Israel. He said on a radio interview that Israel is not worried about threats and bellicose statements emanating from Damascus and would not be drawn into a clash. If Syria attacked Israel, it would pay a heavy price, Shamir said.
