Rockets fired from Lebanon land in Israel

JERUSALEM, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- At least three rockets were fired from Lebanon into northern Israel, one hitting a nursing home in Nahariya, injuring two people, military officials said.

The Israeli army said in a statement it "responded with fire against the source of the rockets," The New York times reported.

In Gaza, meanwhile, fighting continued for the 13th day Thursday. Israel suspended its operations in Gaza for three hours Wednesday afternoon to allow humanitarian aid and fuel to reach Gazans, who used the lull to shop and care for their wounded and dead.

So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the rocket fire on northern Israel, but an army spokesman said Israel holds the Lebanese government and its army "responsible for thwarting any fire on Israel," Ynetnews.com reported.

A spokeswoman for Hezbollah, which tripped a war with Israel in 2006 by firing rockets into northern Israel from Lebanon, said an investigation was under way.

"We are still looking for information about it," the woman said.

Hezbollah television station al-Manar reported the attack, but did not attribute it to the militant group, Ynetnews.com said.

A Lebanese government spokesman said the country is trying to determine who fired the rockets. The official said Lebanon is committed to a U.N.-brokered truce that ended the 2006 war.
