Rebel Rockets Hit Galilee
Guerrillas in Lebanon fired Katyusha rockets into Israel’s northern Galilee region early today, witnesses said, hours after Israelis elected a new prime minister. No injuries were reported.
The witnesses said the sound of ordnance hitting the ground could be heard from the border town of Kiryat Shemona, where senior Labor Party members earlier had been celebrating the victory of party leader Ehud Barak.
Barak, who has pledged to withdraw Israeli troops from southern Lebanon within a year of forming a government, was not in the town.
