The Iranian-supplied and Syrian-supported Hizb?allah terrorist organization showered Israel with more than 100 rockets Wednesday morning, making a mockery of Israel?s claims to have completely wiped out the group?s infrastructure.

To ram their point home, Hizb?allah for the first time fired a missile 70 km into Israel. It landed in Samaria, not far from the Palestinian Authority city of Jenin. No injuries were reported.

In the main rocket assault, one Israeli was killed and at least 14 other people were wounded, a number of them seriously, as direct hits were scored on homes in population centers across northern Israel.

Towns hit included Kiryat Shemona, Rosh Pina, Tzfat, Tiberias, Nahariya, Akko, Ma?alot, Bet She?an and Kibbutz Sa?ar, north of Nahariya, where an Israeli woman was killed.

The barrage came even as Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was telling news agencies that Israel had ?totally destroyed? Hizb?allah?s infrastructure and would keep on fighting the group until an international peacekeeping force could be inserted into southern Lebanon.
