Israel fires artillery at Lebanon after rockets fall on northern Israel

LEBANESE television is reporting that Israeli forces have fired mortars across the Lebanese border after rockets fell on northern Israel.

Israeli police reported at least three rockets fell around the northern Israeli border town of Nahariya this morning. Rescue services say at least one person was lightly wounded.

Hezbollah's al-Manar and Lebanese television say five mortar shells fired from Israel fell near the border inside Lebanon. No injuries were reported.

Hezbollah had no immediate comment.

The heavily armed group is a strong ally of Hamas, but has held its fire during the Israeli offensive in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
