From Ynet News:
Hizbullah steps up attacks: Hizbullah steps up attacks: For the first time since the fighting in the north began 17 days ago, Hizbullah launched five Pajr-5 missiles at Israel Friday afternoon. Police officials said that long-range missiles of this type can carry a larger amount of explosives than the rockets that had been fired at Israel so far.
The missiles landed in open areas between Afula and the Beit Shean Valley, causing no injuries.
A short while later sirens were heard in the Haifa and Krayot area and residents were ordered into shelters and protected areas. Some rockets landed in open areas near Haifa. In a separate barrage a rocket landed in Nahariya, hitting a vehicle that immediately caught fire. Another rocket struck a public building in town and damaged it. No injuries were reported in the attacks.
Up until today, in 17 days of fighting, dozens of 22o millimeter-diameter rockets were fired at Israel, including several Pajar-3 rockets. A police official said earlier that the missiles that landed in Afula today were “of an unknown type, something between the Fajr-3 and the Zilzal missile.” However, sappers that were dispatched to the place examined the missiles and reported they were Fajr-5 missiles equipped with 100-kilograms of explosives each.
Ynet has learned that some of the rockets fired in the barrages on the Western Galilee on Thursday included 220 millimeter-diameter rockets. Up until now Hizbullah had launched these rockets only at Haifa. One of them had hit a train depot and killed eight employees at the place.
So that we don’t become numb to it, consider these actions for a moment. The missiles are still just area explosives. They are not guided, and land wherever their trajectory takes them as governed by Newtonian physics. They usually either explode harmlessly in a field somewhere, or they hit civilians, i.e., non-combatants. There is no military value whatsoever to the places these missiles are falling.
Hezbollah is firing “terror” weapons. They are doing this because they are terrorists.
