Lebanon Rockets Hit Israel 2nd Time

Soldiers move into Gaza City; UN chief arrives in region

Share

(Newser) – Rockets from Lebanon landed in northern Israel for the second time since the start of the Gaza invasion two weeks ago, Reuters reports. No group has claimed responsibility for the rocket attacks, and Israeli police say no one was hurt. This morning Israeli troops moved closer to the heart of Gaza City, while Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, arrived in Cairo to push for an end to the war.
