ISRAEL ATTACKED BY ROCKET FROM LEBANON

TEL AVIV [MENL] -- For the first time in nearly a year, Israel was struck by rockets fired from neighboring Lebanon.

At least three Katyusha rockets landed in northern Israel on Sunday. The 107 mm rockets fell near the Israeli city of Kiryat Shemona and nobody was hurt. Damage was reported.

Israeli and Lebanese officials identified Palestinian gunners as responsible for the rocket attack. They said the attack was linked to the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip.

"We believe the attack was meant to divert attention from the Gaza Strip and establish a new area of tension," an Israeli official said.
