"Hezbollah has nothing to do with this attack," the militant party's spokesman Ibrahim Mussawi told AFP.

His comments came after two rockets were launched early on Saturday from southern Lebanon into northern Israel, and the Israeli military responded with artillery.

Israeli public radio said one woman was lightly injured by flying glass in her home when a rocket hit near the Israeli town of Maalot close to the border.
