Three Patriot anti-missile missile systems deployed in Haifa. Tiberias hit by a second Hizballah rocket barrage amid heavy damage from first
July 15, 2006, 7:02 PM (GMT+02:00)
Five people injured in the earlier five-rocket volley.
Our military sources doubt whether the Patriots, positioned in an Israeli city for the first time in three years, are much effective against Hizballah rockets. Their deployment may be intended as a morale booster.
The last time they were brought out for the US invasion of Iraq, to guard against another missile attack by Saddam Hussein.
The ancient Roman town, holiday and pilgrim center, 35 km from the Lebanese border on the shore of the Sea of Galilee was targeted for the first time Saturday, July 15. The lake authorities have shut down all its beaches and told trippers to take shelter. A rocket landed further south near Kibbutz Maoz close to another important town of Beit Shean, indicating that Hizballah has now begun using its longer-range Fajjar-5 rockets whose range is 45 km. Israeli military sources warn that Hizballah is preparing to launch rockets next against Tel Aviv. Those rockets are secreted by Hizballah in thousands of villages across south Lebanon in fortified rooms built in private homes.
On the fourth day of war, 20 Hizballah rockets landed in and around Nahariya, Hatzor Haglilit, Carmiel, Biria, Dalton, Safed, Baram and Hatzor before 10 am, causing damage and fires but no known casualties.
Haifa and Acre are still on rocket alert.
At least 30 locations across northern Israel’s Galilee were targeted by some 270 Hizballah rockets Friday, killing another two Israelis, a grandmother and grandson of 5 in Moshav Meron and injuring dozens. Nahariya hospital has opened a special emergency trauma unit.
