Israeli media: 2 rockets fall in northern Israel :: www.uruknet.info :: informazione dall'Iraq occupato :: news from occupied Iraq :: - it
JERUSALEM: Media reports say two rockets have fallen on northern Israel in an attack that could signal a second front in Israel's 19-day offensive against Gaza's Hamas rulers.

Security officials in Israel could not immediately confirm the media reports.

Four rockets were fired on northern Israel last Thursday. Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrilla group denied responsibility and speculation focused on small Palestinian groups in Lebanon.

Israeli officials have expressed concern that militants in Lebanon could try to open a second front in the Gaza campaign in solidarity with Hamas.

Television reports said two rockets fell Wednesday near the northern town of Kiryat Shemona.

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
