Three Katyusha rockets exploded in the Upper Galilee panhandle early Thursday morning, causing no casualties and only slight damage.

The rockets were fired from southern Lebanon, outside the Israeli-controlled border security zone. Israeli artillery later opened fire on the apparent launching sites.

One rocket hit a garden in an Israeli border town, shattering windows and downing some power lines.

The other two were identified only after search parties discovered their impact craters in a field near the border fence.
