This brings to 33 the number of Israeli civilians killed since the fighting in the north began on July 12. Hezbollah fired 170 Katyushas across northern Israel yesterday. A barrage of 130 rockets landed between 4 P.M. and 5 P.M. Fadiya Juma'a, 60, and her daughters Sultana, 31, and Samira, 33, were killed when their home in the Bedouin village of Arab Aramshe absorbed a direct hit. Kiryat Shmona was hit by about 30 rockets at the same time, which damaged a factory in the city. Safed, Maghar, Nahariya, Ma'alot, Shlomi, Rosh Hanikra and Acre were also hit. Some home and infrastructure damage was reported. Eleven rockets landed in the suburban Krayot area of Haifa. Frida Kellner, 87, of Kiryat Ata, had a heart attack after she returned home from a bomb shelter and died on the way to hospital. Six people were lightly injured by shrapnel and about a dozen were treated for shock. One rocket in the barrage hit an apartment block, causing a fire. A local fire station also sustained some damage when a rocket landed nearby. Rockets were fired at the Golan Heights yesterday afternoon but landed in Syrian territory. On Friday rockets fired at the Golan landed in Quneitra, on the Syrian side of the border. Rockets also fell in the Safed area and in the Western Galilee yesterday. About 190 rockets were fired at Israel on Friday. In addition, at least one long-range missile fell near Hadera on Friday, apparently causing no damage. Two people were treated for shock. These missile strikes reached deeper into Israel than any previous strike. Police Northern Command chief Major General Dan Ronen confirmed the landing. Hezbollah released a statement late Friday claiming to have fired its "Khaibar 1" missiles at Hadera. The same type of missile landed near Afula last week. Manal Azzam, 27, was killed when a rocket slammed in the home next to hers in the mixed Druze-Muslim-Christian village of Maghar in the Lower Galilee. Her two children were slightly injured by shrapnel. Azzam was buried Friday evening. Baha Karim, 36, and Mohammed Subhi Manar, 24, were killed when a rocket landed near their car as they were traveling in Majdal Krum, near Carmiel. Seventeen other residents were injured, one seriously and two moderately. A resident of She'ar Yeshuv, near Kiryat Shmona, was critically wounded in a rocket strike Friday. Three people in Migdal Ha'emek were injured, two moderately and one slightly, by shrapnel from a 220mm. rocket that fell in the area. According to police, 2,700 rockets have been fired at Israel since the beginning of the war on July 12.
