Rockets hit Israel from Lebanon At least three rockets have been fired into northern Israel from Lebanon raising fears that the current Israeli offensive in Gaza may spill over. Israel's army responded with artillery. No-one has said they fired the rockets. The exchange came as Israel reportedly launched 60 air strikes on the Gaza Strip overnight, targeting facilities used by the militant Hamas group. The BBC's Mike Sergeant in Jerusalem says this is a very dangerous moment in Israel's conflict. The fear in the past few days has been that the violence in Gaza could spread to northern Israel and the Lebanese border area, he said. Schools closed At least three Katyusha rockets were fired from southern Lebanon into northern Israel, with some reports putting the number of rocket attacks at five. One rocket hit the Nahariya area, north of the city of Haifa. At least two people were slightly wounded and a number of others suffering from shock, Israel's Haaretz newspaper said. Schools have been closed and residents told to stay in doors, local officials said. Northern Israel came under attack from rockets fired by Hezbollah during the brief war with Lebanon in the summer of 2006. Israel said it had responded to the attack with a "pinpoint response at the source of fire". Reports from inside Lebanon said five Israeli mortar shells fell near the border inside Lebanon, but there were no injuries. news.bbc.co.uk
