Hezbollah Rockets Kill at Least 3

HAIFA, Israel (AP) - A barrage of Hezbollah rockets crashed into Haifa on Sunday, killing at least three people and wounding more than 40, officials said, in the heaviest attack on the port city since fighting with the Lebanese-based militia began nearly four weeks ago.

Emergency services director Eli Bein said three people were killed. Other officials said more than 40 people were wounded, and dozens more suffered shock.
