AHN Inside The Middle East: Hezbollah Rocket Hits Building In Nazareth
Mary K. Brunskill - All Headline News Staff Writer Jerusalem (AHN) - Israeli authorities say a Hezbollah rocket hit a building Wednesday in the primarily Arab town of Nazareth, killing three people, two of whom were children. Television footage showed that the roof of the building was mostly destroyed. Mohammed Assawi, who saw the attack, told Israel's Channel 10 that the rocket that killed the two children struck in the middle of a street in the downtown area. "It's a vacation and it's afternoon so where will they go if not to play in the streets?" he said. "It is unpleasant to say what we saw." Police later said that a third person was killed and two others were wounded. The wave fired Wednesday afternoon was the first to hit a holy city. Nazareth is located in about 19 miles from the Lebanese border in northern Israel. It is revered as the the town where Jesus grew up and is filled with churches. It was not known immediately whether any of its holy sites were damaged.
