Life returned to normal for residents of the north, after a Katyusha attack by fundamentalist Islamic Hezbollah terrorists.
In a statement released in Lebanon, Hezbollah said the attack Tuesday night was in retaliation for the shelling a day earlier of the village Shakra, north of the southern Lebanon security zone.
A 12-year-old girl was reportedly killed and two other youths injured in the shelling.
Eight Katyusha rockets fell inside Israel, causing minor damage but no injuries.
In Israel, residents of Kiryat Shmona called on the government to take action to prevent future attacks. Mayor Prosper Azran said residents of the city feel as though they are living under a military regime. “In the last 27 years, more than 1,700 missiles have fallen, more than 1,000 buildings were damaged, more than 300 people were injured and 40 people died,” he told Israel Radio. “We’re tired from this kind of life.”
