Hermel Comes under Syrian Rocket Attack, Several Hurt
Around eight rockets and mortar rounds from Syria slammed into the northeastern region of Hermel on Tuesday -- some of them hitting residential neighborhoods -- leaving one person dead.
The state-run National News Agency said the rocket salvo left several people slightly injured.
One of the rockets landed in an agricultural field in the Dora area, igniting a fire, it said.
Over the past weeks, Syrian rebels have fired dozens of rockets on Hermel and the Hizbullah stronghold of Baalbek.
