At least one rocket fired from Lebanon landed in Israel yesterday, wounding three people and prompting Israel to respond with a brief artillery barrage, the Israeli army said.

In Beirut, a security source said two rockets had been fired from the area of Mansouri, south of Tyre, and that Israel had responded by firing at least six artillery shells into southern Lebanon. First reports said no one was hurt.

The source said another rocket landed in the village of Naqoura along the Mediterranean coast close to the Israeli border and site of the headquarters for the United Nations peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility by any group. The Lebanese army said it found two wooden rocket launchers in the Qleileh-Mansouri area, south of the coastal city Tyre.
