Israel strikes Qana after rocket barrage

[maddezmom]

JERUSALEM - The Israeli army said Sunday it had attacked the Lebanese town of Qana and destroyed the launchers that fired rockets on Haifa. Earlier, Hezbollah guerrillas unleashed their deadliest rocket attack on northern Israel, killing 12 reserve soldiers with a single missile at the Kfar Giladi kibbutz and killing at least three people and wounding dozens more with a barrage that battered Haifa.

Israeli warplanes and artillery also pounded Lebanon, causing at least 13 deaths as fighting intensified despite a draft U.N. cease-fire resolution. Loud explosions echoed across Lebanon's capital, Beirut, when Israeli jets fired missiles into its southern suburbs in the afternoon.

Hezbollah and its allies rejected the U.S.-French text of the U.N. resolution, saying its terms for a halt in fighting did not address Lebanon's demands — a signal that the nearly 4-week-old battle would burn on.

Both sides appeared to be aiming to inflict maximum damage in the few days before the resolution is expected to be voted on by the U.N. Security Council.

2. I think there were 2 different sites and Fox thought it was the one

in Tyre, but it wasn't. Just turned to the channel and they are saying a launch site was also destroyed in Tyre. :shrug:
