Hezbollah claims attack on inhabited kibbutz; 30 rockets said fired

Hezbollah says it fired a volley of Katyusha rockets at the community of Shamir, a kibbutz in the far eastern Galilee bordering the Golan Heights.

Unlike many other towns that usually come under rocket fire, Shamir has not been officially evacuated by the state. The kibbutz is some nine kilometers (5.5 miles) from the Lebanese border.

Reports in Hebrew media suggest some 30 rockets were fired at the kibbutz. There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

There is no comment from the Israel Defense Forces.

However, the Upper Galilee Regional Council says in a short message to residents that loud blasts they may hear are from IDF fire.
