Four rockets hit northern Israel from Lebanon today, military sources told AFP.

Five people were slightly wounded when the projectiles fell around the area of the northern town of Nahariya, Israeli media reported.

Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah militia fought a 34-day war in 2006, after guerrillas from the Lebanese Shiite movement seized two Israeli soldiers in a deadly cross-border raid.

During the conflict, Hezbollah sent more than 4000 rockets into northern Israel.

The war killed more than 1200 Lebanese, mostly civilians, and more than 160 Israelis, mostly soldiers.

Israel is currently in the 13th day of a massive offensive in the Gaza Strip.

Hezbollah carried out its deadly raid in 2006 two weeks into Israel's last major operation in Gaza, launched after Gaza militants seized another Israeli soldier in a raid near the Palestinian territory.
