Here we go again: 2 rockets fired at Israel from Lebanon.

JERUSALEM - At least two Katyusha rockets fell on northern Israel Sunday, the first fired from Lebanon since last summer’s inconclusive war with Hezbollah guerrillas. No one was hurt, but there was some damage, police and the military said.

Channel 2 TV said one rocket hit a factory and another hit a car. The station’s Arab affairs analyst, Ehud Yaari, said a splinter Palestinian group in Lebanon was probably behind the attack.

The rockets exploded near the northern town of Kiryat Shemona, hard hit during last summer’s war, when almost 4,000 rockets were fired at Israel. The mayor of the town, Haim Barbivai, called for a tough response from both the Israeli and Lebanese government.

“Heaven help us if we have another summer like the last one. That would be a tragedy,” he told Channel 2.

Lebanese television reported three rockets were fired from the Lebanese village of Taibeh.
