    Northern Israel is now on a high state of alert after an event which the Israeli government says "changes everything".

    Israel has no doubt Hezbollah is to blame
    The railway maintenance depot in the city of Haifa is a scene of devastation.

    Eight railway workers were killed here and at least 25 were injured when a rocket crashed through the roof and exploded among them. Debris is everywhere, pools of blood cover the floor.

    Forensic investigators are trying to establish if this was an enhanced rocket fired from within Lebanon by Hezbollah.The Israeli government has no doubt that Hezbollah is to blame and has vowed to hit back hard.

    With northern cities like Haifa now well within range of the rockets, Israel says its response will have far reaching repercussions on the regional balance of power. An ominous threat to Hezbollah and to those who support it.
