This could be Hezbollah, but it also could be al-Nusra or al-Qaeda trying to provoke Israel into attacking the Hezzies. 4 Rockets hit Northern Israel and one was intercepted by iron dome.
At least four Katyusha rockets were fired at Israeli towns in the western Galilee, Channel 2 television is reporting on Thursday.
At least two explosions were heard in the vicinity of the northern Israeli city of Nahariya, according to Channel 2. No injuries or damage was reported.
Channel 2 is reporting that the Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepted one of the rockets. The other three projectiles landed in uninhabited areas.
It’s still early so the culprits are not known.
Update: Al-Qaeda’s Abdullah Azzam brigades claim credit for the attack on Israel. They also accuse Hezbollah of being cowards and “protecting” Israel.
Sheikh Siraj a-Din Zrikat, a Lebanese cleric affiliated with Sunni radicals, said Thursday that the “Abdallah al Aza’am Birgardes and the Ziad al Jarah Squadrons” are responsible for the rocket attack on Israel.
In a statement published on his twitter account, Zrikat wrote that “Hezbollah’s responsibility of protecting Israel will – God willing – become a difficult task.” (Roi Kais)
The rocket attack was just bragging rights in al-Qaeda’s war on Hezbollah.
