REPORTS SAID eight people were killed in Haifa and others injured
after Hezbollah fired rockets at northern Israel on Sunday.
Haifa is home to Intel's Israel Development Centre, responsible for
designing its next generation processors. Around 2,000 Intel
employees work at the Haifa centre.
The city came under attack from SCUD rockets during the last Gulf
War.
The Jerusalem Post reported that the Israeli government has ordered
residents of Haifa, Acre and Nesther to stay in bomb shelters.
Other IT R&D centres in Haifa include Microsoft, Philips, and
IBM. ยต
