Rockets fired from Lebanon kill five people in northern Israel

Rockets fired from Lebanon killed five civilians in Metula in northern Israel on Thursday, the head of the regional council of the border region where the town is located said.

‘There are five dead, a farmer and four foreign farm workers,’ Regional Council chairman David Azulai told AFP. 

The Israeli army had earlier detected two ‘shells’ fired from Lebanon and said they had landed in an unpopulated area.
