Afula in the Jezreel Valley is 70km from the Lebanese border, 15 km south of Haifa. DEBKAfile reports the 120-130 km-range missile may have been fired from a point north of the Hatzbaiya River near Qaroun Lake. Earlier, DEBKAfile reported exclusively: Israeli intelligence has upped its estimate of Hizballah's stock of Zelzal-2 missiles whose 250km range covers Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Israeli army chiefs fear that Hassan Nasrallah, having received the nod from Tehran Wednesday, will start firing them at central Israel over the weekend. Anti-missile missile systems have been deployed.
Thursday night and Friday morning, July 28, Israeli bombers struck Hizballah locations in the northern Beqaa Valley where the Zelzal-2 missiles are stored.
