Rockets fired by Hezbollah kill 9 in Haifa news.yahoo.com 16 minutes ago A barrage of rockets fired by Hezbollah guerillas pounded the northern Israeli city of Haifa on Sunday, killing nine people and wounding many others, police said. The attack was the worst strike on Israel since violence broke out along the border with Lebanon last week. Rockets fired by Lebanese militants also hit the northern town of Acco, and residents of the region were told to head to bomb shelters. At least five rockets hit Haifa, Israel's third-largest city, police said. Some landed in the residential area of Hadar, and others hit near the city's major oil refinery and large gas storage tanks by the city's port area, police said. Hezbollah's television station, Al-Manar, said the guerillas were targeting the refinery. A storage room at the city's train station suffered a direct hit and that was where many people were hurt, rescue officials said. The rocket attacks came after a relatively quiet night along Israel's northern border, which had been pounded by hundreds of rockets fired from Lebanon in recent days. Hezbollah guerillas hit Haifa with a rocket for the first time ever Thursday. Israel responded by stepping up its airstrikes in Lebanon, which it began last week after militants captured two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid.
