Hezbollah Rockets Kill 9 in Israeli City.
Waves of warplanes thundering through the darkness bombed Beirut’s southern suburbs for hours early Sunday, and Hezbollah rocket attacks killed at least nine people in Israel’s third largest city.
A barrage of rockets pounded the northern Israeli city of Haifa in the worst strike on Israel since violence broke out along the border with Lebanon last week. One of the rockets hit a storage room at the train station, killing nine people, Israeli police said. Many more people were wounded.
Some of the rockets landed near an oil refinery and gas storage tanks. Rockets also hit the northern towns of Acco and Nahariya, and residents were told to head to bomb shelters.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned there would be “far-reaching consequences” for the rocket attack.
