The Gaza Strip-based Hamas terror group claims responsibility for the latest rocket attack from Lebanon at the northern city of Kiryat Shmona.
In a statement, Hamas says its Lebanon branch fired 12 rockets.

At least one landed in a shopping area, heavily damaging cars and a store.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service says its medics are treating two people who were wounded.
It says a 25-year-old is in moderate condition due to shrapnel and a 40-year-old is lightly hurt as a result of the blast. The pair are being taken to Ziv Hospital in Safed, MDA says.
The city has been largely evacuated amid repeated attacks by Hezbollah and allied Palestinian terror factions in southern Lebanon.
