JERUSALEM, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) -- A 60-year-old woman and her 30-year-old son were killed on Thursday by a rocket fired from Lebanon that struck an olive grove near the kibbutz of Afek in northern Israel, Israel's state-owned Kan TV News reported.

They were residents of the Arab-Israeli city of Shfaram, located near Afek, according to the report.
