At least two Katyusha rockets fired from Lebanon landed near the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona on June 17, Israeli sources said.

Lebanese security sources later reported that another rocket fired from Lebanon never made it across the Israeli border and landed near an observation post operated by the UN Interim Force in Lebanon.


A representative from the UN force called the attack a "serious violation of Security Council Resolution 1701 and of the cessation of the hostility agreement" that followed last year's war between Israel and Hezbollah militants.


All three missiles were launched using timing devices, and a fourth rocket failed to fire and is being dismantled by the Lebanese army.


Hezbollah quickly denied responsibility for the attack, Lebanese security sources said.

Video from Israeli television showed a damaged car on the side of a road, it's front bumper crushed and windshield cracked.


The launch sites were in the eastern portion of southern Lebanon, near the town of Marjayoun, which is controlled by Lebanese forces who are monitoring the border after last summer's war between Israel and Hezbollah.
