Haifa still being hit by katyushas

Rocket attacks by the Hezbollah are still hitting Israel's north, including Haifa:
Several katyusha rockets have slammed into Israel Friday. 19 are reported injured, as rockets slammed into Haifa buildings. The injured have been rushed to the Rambam and Bnei Zion Medical Centers.

After nearly 24 hours of quiet in Haifa, Israel's northernmost metropolis, katyusha attacks resumed sending residents fleeing into bomb shelters.

Several rockets landed in Haifa causing significant damage and injuring at least ten. One rocket reportedly exploded in a residential building, and another hit a post office.

Shortly after the rocket attacks on Haifa, two rockets landed near the city of Kiryat Shemona, just a few miles from the Lebanese border.

Two more rockets landed in Tzfat, and another landed near Rosh Pina. Air raid sirens have gone off in Tiveria, but no direct strikes have been reported.

Thursday, about 40 rockets slammed into several cities in northern Israel, following a barrage of over 100 Wednesday. In ten days since the missile attacks began, well over 1,000 rockets have been fired.

Israeli intelligence sources estimate that Hizbullah possesses at least 10,000 such katyusha rockets. In addition Hizbullah has stockpiled an unknown number of sophisticated Iranian made rockets such as the one that struck an Israeli navy vessel last week off the coast of Beirut, killing four.

A similar rocket killed eight Sunday when it slammed into a train depot in Haifa.
There was also a terrorist found in the PLO-dominated Shechem area, who was luckily shot dead by the IDF:
(IsraelNN.com) An armed terrorist was shot and killed by IDF soldiers in Palestinian Authority (PA) controlled Shechem. There are no reports of injuries to IDF soldiers.
Nevertheless, you can see why the PLO should not be considered legitimate - because they allow terrorists like themselves to roam freely in their areas, as they have since the Labor party allowed them into the place in 1994.
