ISRAEL UNDER FIRE

18 JULY - DAY SEVEN

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

Some 70 locations in northern Israel hit by Katyushas overnight Monday, continuing on Tuesday morning including strikes on Kiryat Shmona, Nahariya, Afula, Haifa and Acre.

Fresh barrages of rockets hit Haifa and Safed Tuesday afternoon.

Rockets fired for the first time on communities in southern Golan Heights, possibly as a means for Hezbollah to draw Syria directly into the conflict.

Thirty-five people wounded in rocket attacks throughout Monday; two in moderate-to-serious condition, one in moderate condition, 15 lightly wounded and 17 suffering from shock.

An additional three reserve battalions have been called up. A ground offensive is not, however, expected at this time.

IDF thwarts an infiltration attempt Monday night as Hezbollah cell attempts to enter Israel along the central region of the border.

Israeli Air Force bombs launcher holding Iranian Zelzal missile, capable of hitting Tel Aviv, destroying the missile before it could be fired.

PM Ehud Olmert makes major address to Knesset, calling for return of kidnapped soldiers, complete ceasefire, deployment of Lebanese army in all of southern Lebanon, expulsion of Hezbollah from the area and fulfillment of UN Resolution 1559.
