Haaretz, here

"... The rocket hit an open field near Kiryat Shemona and caused no casualties. A Lebanese security official confirmed that the rocket was fired from the Houla village in southern Lebanon, near where the United Nations has investigated Lebanese charges that Israel planted spy devices then subsequently exploded them last week. ..."We have nine years of quiet in the north that were interrupted for a number of painful weeks for the Second Lebanon War," the defense minister said, referring to the month-long war against Hezbollah guerillas. "We are preparing for all other possibilities, including the possibility that they will subject the towns of the north to another test."

7 Israeli Artillery Shells Target Houla in South Lebanon

27/10/2009 Israeli occupation army fired seven artillery shells at the Wadi Slouki region, near the town of Houla in south Lebanon. News agencies reported a Katyusha rocket had been fired earlier from the same bombed region targeting an open area in the Israeli settlement of Keryat Shmona without causing injuries.


No group immediately claimed responsibility for the Katyusha launch. UNIFL troops and the Lebanese army cut off the road leading to Hula and were searching the area. According to Israeli media outlets, Israeli security sources estimate that the rocket was not fired by Hezbollah, but rather by a small Palestinian organization. Haaretz quoted an Israeli occupation army spokesman as saying that the military holds Lebanon responsibility for the Katysha launch.

Just hours before the incident, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned during a tour in the northern occupied region, that Israel was preparing itself for a possible new confrontation with Lebanon. "We have nine years of quiet in the north that were interrupted for a number of painful weeks for the Second Lebanon War," the defense minister said. "We are preparing for all other possibilities, including the possibility that they will subject the towns of the north to another test."
