Jerusalem - A rocket fired from Lebanon hit northern Israel on Tuesday, causing no damage or injury, an Israeli police spokesperson said.

A Lebanese security source confirmed a rocket had been fired from southern Lebanon from the village of Houla, and another Lebanese security source said Israel returned artillery fire at the area.

Micky Rosenfeld, spokesperson for Israeli police, said a Katyusha rocket "landed in upper Galilee" after darkness and that there were no reports of damage or injury. An Israeli military spokesperson had no immediate comment.

The Israeli-Lebanese border has been largely quiet since a UN-brokered truce was reached after a 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas.

But two rockets were fired a month ago after a long lull and a military group with links to al-Qaeda claimed responsibility.

There was no immediate claim made for Tuesday's rocket which fell in an area near the northern Israeli border town of Kiryat Shmone, an Israeli security source said. - Reuters
