Israel - Deadly Rocket Attack in Chaifa

Chaifa, Israel - Lebanese guerillas fired a relentless barrage of rockets into the northern Israeli city of Chaifa on Sunday, killing eight people at a train station and wounding seven others.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert vowed that there would be "far-reaching consequences" for the attack.

At least 20 rockets slammed into Chaifa, and one of them hit a section of the train depot where crews of about 30 people were performing maintenance on the trains, tearing a huge hole in the roof and killing eight people.
Other rockets landed near the city's major oil refinery, gas storage tanks and a major street during the busy morning rush hour.

Israeli authorities warned all residents in the central city of Tel Aviv and north to be on heightened alert, reflecting the longer range of the missile attacks. It was the first time Hezbollah had used this long range Iranian made missiles, in attacking Israel.

Soon after the attack, Israeli warplanes hit the south Beirut stronghold of Hezbollah with at least six airstrikes, shaking the Lebanese capital and sending a cloud of thick smoke rising over the neighborhood.
The Israeli air force dropped leaflets over south Lebanon telling residents to leave immediately before an imminent attack.
"Nothing will deter us," Olmert said at the beginning of his government's weekly Cabinet meeting. "There will be far-reaching consequences in our relations on the northern border and in the area in general."
