(VOVworld)- Israel’s army fired about 20 artillery shells into southern Lebanon targeting an area from which five rockets were fired into Northern Israel. Neither attack caused significant damage or causalities. The Israeli army said 5 rockets from Lebanon targeted the town of Kiryat Shmona and they responded. Israeli Minister of Defense Moshe Yaalon warned that a tougher response will be made to any attack. The United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon (UNIFIL) confirmed the attacks and called on both sides to remain calm.
