From Haaretz.com:

A Hezbollah rocket attack on the northern town of Nazareth killed two Israeli Arab children, brothers aged 3 and 9, on Wednesday afternoon, bringing to 16 the death toll from rocket strikes since the crisis in Lebanon began a week ago.

Another 12 people sustained light wounds in the attack, and were evacuated to the Italian Hospital in the town.

The two siblings were killed by a direct hit from a rocket while playing on the street, the Israel Defense Forces said. It was the first attack on the town.

Upper Nazareth, the mainly Jewish town adjacent to the predominantly Arab Nazareth, was hit over the weekend.
