An Israeli army spokeswoman confirmed on Saturday that three Katyusha rockets, for the first time, landed in northern Israeli city of Tiberias, some 30 kms from the border with Lebanon.

The attack caused several people suffering from shock and the casualty is not immediately known, spokeswoman told the press. Tiberias is one of Israel's major city and a scenic tourist resort near the Galilee Lake.

On Thursday, Katyusha rockets struck Haifa, Israel's third largest city, for the first time, prompting the Israeli army to order residents in the northern area to stay near bomb shelters so they could go inside as soon as they hear an air-raid siren.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Dan Halutz said Friday that Lebanese Hizbollah has rockets with a range of up to 70 kilometers or more, which can bring more major Israeli cities within their range, including Hadera and Netanya.

This would also mean that Hizbollah has rockets that could reach within 20 to 30 kilometers of Tel Aviv.
