Occupied Jerusalem: Two Katyusha rockets fell on northern Israeli border town of Kiryat Shmona on Sunday, the first fired from Lebanon since last summer's war with Hezbollah guerrillas.

No one was hurt, but there was some damage, police and the military said.

A television report said one of the rockets hit a factory and the other hit a car.

The rockets exploded near Kiryat Shemona, hard hit during last summer's war, when almost 4,000 rockets were fired at Israel. The mayor of the town, Haim Barbivai, called for a tough response from both the Israeli and Lebanese government.

There was no immediate response from Israeli officials.
