Jalaa Marey/ AFPA barrage of rockets fired from Lebanon targeted Israel Thursday, a day after clashes between Israeli police and Palestinians inside Islam's third-holiest site drew warnings of retaliation from around the region.
Israeli emergency services reported a man had been lightly wounded by shrapnel and a female was injured while running to a shelter."The current situation is extremely serious," said the force which patrols the border area between the two countries that are technically still at war. "UNIFIL urges restraint and to avoid further escalation."
According to the Lebanon report, Israeli artillery fired "several shells from its positions on the border" towards the outskirts of two villages after the launch of "several Katyusha type rockets" at Israel. Lebanon's pro-Iranian armed movement Hezbollah had warned earlier Thursday it would support "all measures" that Palestinian groups may take against Israel after the clashes.
