JERUSALEM (AP) – Three Hezbollah rockets struck Friday near the Israeli town of Hadera, about 50 miles south of the Lebanese border, police said.

The strike was the deepest inside Israel to date in the fighting between the Jewish state and the Lebanon-based militants. No casualties were immediately reported.

Hadera is about 30 miles north of Tel Aviv, Israel’s commercial center.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has threatened to hit Tel Aviv if Israeli warplanes hit the Lebanese capital, Beirut. Israeli resumed air strikes on Beirut Thursday, after first targeting the city at the beginning of the war.

Hezbollah is believed to have missiles that can reach Tel Aviv, but such an attack would likely trigger a massive Israeli response.
