Rockets hit Israel after airport attack

Thursday, July 13, 2006; Posted: 9:12 a.m. EDT (13:12 GMT)

BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- Rockets fired from Lebanon hit a number of towns and villages in northern Israel on Thursday, hours after Israeli aircraft bombed Beirut International Airport.

The escalation in violence came as Israel expanded its military campaign against Hezbollah guerrillas who kidnapped two Israeli soldiers on Wednesday -- bombing the airport and blocking naval traffic in Lebanese waters.

Israel has said it holds the Lebanese government, of which radical Islamic group Hezbollah is a part, responsible for the soldiers' abduction.

Rockets fired from Lebanon hit the center of Safed Thursday, causing casualties, medical sources said. One man was in critical condition and at least 10 others suffered shock and minor injuries. Safed is about 20 kilometers (13 miles) inside the Israeli border with Lebanon.

Police said several rockets hit the town, one of them striking a petrol station. Local officials said the town had not been hit by Hezbollah rockets since 1972..........

21. Hizbollah rockets rain on northern Israel

NAHARIYA, Israel (Reuters) - Hizbollah guerrillas from Lebanon fired barrages of rockets into nearly 20 towns across northern Israel on Thursday, killing one civilian and wounding 42 others in their heaviest bombardment in a decade.

Officials ordered tens of thousands of residents into bomb shelters and basements as tensions escalated with Lebanon, a day after Hizbollah seized two Israeli soldiers and killed eight in cross-border attacks.

Israel earlier struck Beirut airport and began enforcing a naval blockade of Lebanon, intensifying its reprisals. Israel's attacks have killed 53 Lebanese civilians.

Police said some 85 rockets had landed in northern Israel. Nearly 20 towns and villages had been bit, Israeli media said.
