Hizbollah fires new long-range rocket - by Jonathan Saul
Hezbollah fired scores of rockets into Israel on Friday, including at least one that the Lebanese guerrilla group said was a new long-range missile, wounding at least six people, police said.
The longer-range rocket landed in an open area near the town of Afula, about 50 km (30 miles) from the Lebanese border. It matched the furthest distance that Hezbollah rockets had landed inside Israel since the conflict began on July 12. Hezbollah said it had fired a volley of "Khaibar 1" rockets at Afula, apparently a new type of armament.
An Israeli army spokeswoman said seven rockets landed in the Afula area, two of which had landed inside the town. The other five landed in open areas near Afula, which is about 35 km (22 miles) southeast of Israel's third largest city, Haifa.
