A katyusha rocket apparently fired from southern Lebanon, exploded Wednesday night in the northern Israeli town of Shlomi, causing damage to a local bakery but no casualties.

As a result of the incident, Independence Day celebrations in the area were called off. Israel held Lebanon responsible for the attack.

There were no immediate reactions from Hezbollah or the Lebanese government.

Earlier this week, Israel fired an artillery shell into Lebanon; army claimed by mistake.  

It was unclear whether Wednesday’s rocket attack was retaliation for the shelling.
