Several Katyusha rockets exploded Monday evening in Western Galilee, sending residents scurrying for bomb shelters in the final hours of Passover.

There were no casualties or damage, save for a small crater and a minor fire in one village that was quickly put out.

The 122-mm missiles, with a range of about 13 miles, were fired from north of the Israeli-patrolled security zone in southern Lebanon. There was a 90-minute interval between the attacks.

As of midday Tuesday, no terrorist group had claimed credit for the rocket attacks.
