JERUSALEM, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- A rocket fired by Hezbollah fighters from Lebanon killed two Israeli civilians -- a woman and a man -- in northern Israel on Wednesday, Israeli authorities said.
Magen David Adom emergency health service reported that the victims were killed when a rocket struck the northern city of Kiryat Shmona.
The military said approximately 20 rockets were detected crossing from Lebanon, targeting the city.
Earlier on Wednesday, militants in Lebanon fired around 40 rockets at northern Israel's Upper Galilee and Haifa Bay areas, injuring at least five people.
The Israeli military stated that "some of the projectiles were intercepted by the Israeli Air Force, while others landed in the area."
Magen David Adom reported that rockets or shrapnel from interceptor missiles hit at least two locations in the Krayot, a cluster of suburbs north of Haifa.
Hezbollah has yet to comment on the two attacks in Israel. ■
