Katyusha reportedly lands in Galilee

An explosion was heard in the northern Galilee near the Lebanese border at approximately 7 a.m. local time. There are no initial reports of damage or wounded.

According to initial assessments from security forces, a Katyusha rocket of the sort long favored by Hezbollah landed near the northern border town of Metula

Residents reported a smoke cloud coming from the landing site. IDF forces are headed to the location of the rocket’s landing.

The apparent rocket launch follows a series of incidents in recent months along the border.

Earlier this month, Master Sgt. Shlomi Cohen, 31, was shot and killed by a Lebanese Army soldier on the border near the coastal town of Rosh Hanikra. The shooting happened near the spot where a bomb blew up an army jeep, injuring four soldiers, in August. Two Katyusha rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel in late August.
