The militant Lebanese group Hezbollah has fired rockets at the Israeli port city of Haifa, reports say.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
Haifa, Israel's third largest city, is situated more than 30km (18 miles) from the Lebanese border and was thought to be out of Hezbollah's range.
The attack comes as Israel imposes an air and sea blockade on Lebanon, following the capture of two of its soldiers by the militant group.

At least one rocket has struck the northern Israeli port city of Haifa, hours after a threat by the militant Lebanese group Hezbollah.
Hezbollah denied firing any rockets. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
Haifa, Israel's third largest city, is more than 30km (18 miles) from the Lebanese border and was thought to be out of Hezbollah's range.
Israel has been carrying out ground, sea and air raids on Lebanon.
It imposed the blockade following the capture of two of its soldiers by Hezbollah militants on Wednesday.
Israeli warships have blocked Lebanese ports, and Beirut international airport was closed after Israeli bombing.
About 50 Lebanese people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the raids.
Hezbollah had said it would attack Haifa if Israeli planes bombed Beirut.
It has fired dozens of rockets into Israel in the past two days, but none have so far gone further than 20km (12 miles) inside the country.
At least one Israeli has died in the attacks and dozens have been injured.
The Israeli ambassador in Washington, Danny Ayalon, described the Haifa incident as a "major escalation" of the crisis, which began with the soldiers' capture.

that's strange because i hope that those kidnapped soldiers will be back home soon, and Israel will stop bombing Leban.

Beirut is already a mashed up city of rubble and unpaved streets, and has been since '82, so I guess it doesn't matter to anyone if a few more bombs hit the dirt.

There are alot of bloodthirsty people around here. This is not a movie people, people are ACTUALLY getting KILLED. Think about that before you let your bloodlust desires speak for you. Rather than hope for others to fight and be destroyed, would it not be better to take the same line of thinking as duskiness?

Your speaking of things you have little knowladge about and due to your disbelief you wouldn't understand!

Pan, you are a REALIST, right, you use logic, right? Well, then, Mr. Reality, you should know that the "blood thirsty" people are REALISTS in this situation! They know that war is inevitable and that the return of those soldiers is unlikely as the second they get out, someone's going to gun them down anyway.
But, while the "blood thirsty" folk are hoping for "blood," they might as well pick sides, right! Oh, and neutral isn't a side, so, Pan, go make your pick of the litter!

I will fight against those that tell me I have to fight, or pick a side in a fight.
Lebanese bloggers fumed at Hezbollah after it drew their country into a confrontation with Israel, whose forces had left Lebanon six years ago. BigPharaoh posted snippets of comments from across the Lebanese blogosphere, including: "I would like to ask [Hezbollah], WHY NOW? Can they answer me? This is very bad." As Israel charged that it would hold Lebanon responsible for the situation, BigPharaoh asked the Lebanese, "For how long will you keep your country held hostage by Hezbollah?"
so when somene stands upto the zionist bully, they are to blame? I agree lebabnon shouldnt be dragged into war again, but it was defending the plight of the palestinian cause. some of the ways in which they do this are inappropriate, but i must say that defending the cause of the muslim ummah, is one of the noblest act, which can be undertaken by the muslims.
Apparently hezbAllah calim to have 10,000 rockets at the border ready in case the zionist try to enter the heart of lebanon and kill their people. Lets just ope this does not happen, for the sake ofpreventing a war whcih a few people might need , but the world can de with out.
And anyway lets just pray for those fighting to defend their lands from the zionist invasions which we have seen and pray for the innocent people on both sides.
from the link you posted:
"The rockets hit the Haifa neighborhood of Stella Maris, a Christian area filled with restaurants, a monastery and a church."
yeah, isn't it depressing that nobody was injured.....
btw, one of our members has a restaurant in haifa. but i guess if he got injured it would serve him right, huh?

you are sad that no one was injured in the rocket attacks on haifa. you would've liked some blood? some mangled corpses of children would have cheered you up?

"The rockets hit the Haifa neighborhood of Stella Maris, a Christian area filled with restaurants, a monastery and a church."
headline was: "Rockets hit Israel port city; no injuries" and to this:
the ikon for "sad".
zAk is a moderator on an islamic forum - is this an example of islam in action?
