Israel vows retaliation after rocket hits border town
Prime Minister Shimon Peres warned Israel would strike back if rocket attacks from Lebanon continue. Israeli officials blamed Syria and Iran for guerrilla actions, noting a Soviet Katyusha hit Kiryat Shmona, the first in the center of the 20,000 population town since 1981. Military sources report two dozen rockets in 10 days, with Iranian-backed Hezbollah active in south Lebanon and Iranian flags seen by UN troops. Peres pledged necessary measures to restore quiet, while acknowledging attribution remains uncoordinated.
