Hezbollah rockets hit Israeli city

JERUSALEM --A second round of Hezbollah rockets hit an Israeli city 22 miles south of the border with Lebanon Saturday, Israeli rescue services said.

There was no immediate word of injuries in Tiberias, a resort city well inside Israel on the Sea of Galilee.

An earlier barrage was the first attack on Tiberias since the 1973 Mideast War. Residents were ordered into bomb shelters, and Israeli media reported that hundreds of tourists were fleeing the city.

Four Israeli civilians have been killed in rocket attacks that began Wednesday after Israel launched an offensive in response to a Hezbollah raid into Israel that captured two Israeli soldiers and killed eight.

Police said 106 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in Lebanon.
