Report: Hizbullah rocket fire misses target, strikes civilian ship

A Hizbullah rocket barrage aimed at Israeli warships missed their target and struck a civilian merchant ship in the Mediterranean Sea, Israeli military officials said early Saturday.

The officials did not know the nationality of the ship, or whether there were casualties. The officials could not be identified under military regulations. The rocket attack occurred late Friday at the same time Hizbullah struck an Israeli warship, causing heavy damage to the vessel. (AP)
