Army Radio reported that at least one of the projectiles was a Katyusha rocket. The police clarified in a statement that it remained unclear whether the projectile was a Katyusha or a different type of rocket. Police bomb squad units and the IDF were investigating the incident.
The Western Galilee was a target of Hezbollah rocket attacks during the 2006 Lebanon War, but the front has been largely quiet for the past several years.

NOTE:
When do "severe incidents" become an "Act of War"? Have rocket attacks by neighboring countries and terrorist organizations become so commonplace, that they are simply referred to as "incidents"? Would any other country in the world be as "accepting" of such acts, without considering the fact that this is unacceptable?!
