Two dead in Haifa rocket attacks -medics

HAIFA, Israel, July 23 (Reuters) A fresh Hizbollah rocket barrage killed two people and seriously wounded several others in the northern Israeli city of Haifa today, medics said.

They said rockets hit at least two apartments.

The Haaretz newspaper Web site said 10 rockets had hit Israel's third largest city.

Air raid sirens also sounded in the town of Zichron Yaakov, which lies 60 km south of the Lebanese border. It was unclear if any rockets had hit the town. None have yet fallen so far south since the conflict began.

Haifa lies 35 km south of the border.
