Missile Threat
London-based newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat quotes senior Iranian army official as saying Islamic republic’s Revolutionary Guard set up dozens of advanced rocket, missile bases in Lebanon Valley and along border with Israel
Hizbullah said that it fired dozens of Raad 2 and Raad 3 rockets at Haifa. "After the killing and destruction left by the enemy and after a long night of bombing in the southern quarter of Beirut and other areas in Lebanon and after ports and other infrastructures were attacked including a power station, the Islamic resistance (Hizbullah) has announced that it attacked with dozens of rockets, at exactly 9 a.m."
The al-Manar network has been broadcasting live pictures from Israeli television showing the extent of the attack on Haifa.
At the start of the campaign in Lebanon Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said he would not hesitate to fire long-range rockets at Haifa.
Hizbullah denied that it fired the Katyusha rockets that landed in Haifa on Thursday.
Its announcement Sunday is the first time Hizbullah said it was behind rockets on Haifa.
Security forces are preparing for the possibility that in response to an escalation of IDF activities in Lebanon, Hizbullah will try to fire rockets into the depth of Israel, beyond the frontline communities.
