Two 107-millimeter Katyusha rockets fired from Lebanon landed Monday in northern Shlomi, near the Lebanese border. One of the rockets landed on a balcony of a house while the other hit a lamp post. Two rockets fired at Israel from Lebanon It was unclear if the IDF troops stationed on the Lebanese border noticed the rockets being fired and the army was checking if its detection systems were working. It was also not yet clear which group fired the rockets, but the defense establishment was examining the possibility that they were fired as an attempt by Hizbullah or other terror groups in Lebanon to disrupt Wednesday's visit of US President George W. Bush. The army raised the level of alert along the northern border following the attack. On Monday night, Defense Minister Ehud Barak told the Council for Peace and Security that Hizbullah had more rockets than before the war in 2006. Also Monday, Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah issued a warning to Israel, saying that the guerrilla group was prepared to deal with any "crazy adventure launched by the Zionist enemy." "Israel will suffer an even greater defeat than that which was suffered during that July, because Hizbullah today has become stronger, braver, and more experienced," Nasrallah said during a meeting with senior Lebanese religious leaders. Sunday night's rocket fire was the first Katyusha attack since June, when two rockets landed in the Kiryat Shmone area, one hitting a car in an industrial zone north of the city and the other landing in a residential area. The "Jihadi Badr Brigades - Lebanon branch," a previously unknown Palestinian group linked to al-Qaida, claimed responsibility for the June attack.

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
