08/01/2009 The Israeli occupation army said Thursday at noon that no new rockets have hit northern occupied territories, adding that there had been a false alarm in two northern settlements.
 
Earlier, three Katyusha rockets fired from southern Lebanon landed in Western Galilee region Thursday morning, near the settlement of Nahariya. Israeli Police reported that four people were wounded and several settlers were treated for shock. The Israeli army fired at least five shells at the launching site, according to Lebanese security sources.
 
Israeli authorities closed schools for a brief time but reopened them later.
 
The rocket attack was not attributed to any organization and there were no claim of responsibility by any side yet.
Officials from the Palestinian resistance group Hamas in Lebanon denied that it carried out the attack.
The Israeli media quoted Israeli sources in the Israeli army northern command as saying that the “short salvo on Thursday morning was likely to have been fired by Palestinian terror groups and not by Hezbollah.”
 
The southern region of Litani River in south Lebanon is under the jurisdiction of 15,000 UNIFIL soldiers and an equal number of Lebanese Army troops.
 
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah warned Israel Wednesday that if Israel decides to attack Lebanon, “their soldiers will soon discover that their aggression in 2006 on Lebanon will be a picnic compared to what we have prepared for them.”
