The remaining residents of Israel's northern town of Kiryat Shmona, those who have not fled rising cross-border fire from militants in Lebanon, said Friday they were ready for whatever happens.Kiryat Shmona was hit by a barrage of rockets on Thursday, with both Hezbollah and the Lebanese section of Hamas's armed wing claiming to have attacked several targets in northern Israel.
A barrage of rockets wounded two people in the Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona near the Lebanese border Thursday, Israel's Magen David Adom emergency medical service said.An AFP photographer saw Israeli emergency crews checking the debris of burnt out vehicles following the strikes in Kiryat Shmona.
Israeli troops pushed deeper into Gaza Tuesday, driving tanks and armoured bulldozers through the rubble of shattered buildings and hunting for Hamas militants who carried out the worst attack in Israel's history.Other families have endured an unbearable wait for news about loved-ones kidnapped by Hamas militants and thought to be held in a labyrinth of tunnels in Gaza.
Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels fired drones towards Israel on Tuesday in retaliation for its war against Hamas, a senior official from the group told AFP.
"These drones belong to the state of Yemen," Abdelaziz bin Habtour, prime minister of the Huthi government, said when asked about the launch towards Eilat in southern Israel.The Huthis will release a statement later on Tuesday with more details of their involvement in the "resistance" against Israel, Bin Habtour said.
Lebanon's caretaker prime minister said Monday he was working to ensure his country does not enter the Hamas-Israel war, even as Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging cross-border fire.
