Ballouneh is a small town neighboring Ajaltoun in the Keserwan District of the Mount Lebanon . It is about 650-700 m above sea level.

The army, the presidential guards and security forces were on Friday conducting a search operation in the town of Araya in Baabda district where a strong blast was heard overnight, Naharnet reported .

Update:
In a statement in the evening, the Lebanese Army said it located two rocket launch pads in the Mount Lebanon town of Ballouneh, northeast of the capital Beirut ..

One of the two had been set on a timer, which experts managed to disable, the Army said, adding that the second pad had fired a rocket that landed in one of the ravines between Jamhour and Bsous in Alley, which lies southwest of the launch site.

The rocket that had been set to launch was a 122-mm Grad rocket, the Army said.

It was not yet clear what the target of the rocket attack was.

The Army said Friday it was continuing its investigation to reveal the circumstances surrounding the rocket launch and those behind it.

      “…. and it was not launched due to a certain failure.”
      Yah .. failure caused by stupidity – but amazing also that a rocket which can’t find any specific target can find a hydro-wire.
      Some would say that was the ‘hand of God’. :-)))

    People should be very vigilant and inform the army on any suspicious acts or things they find. ill willed people in Lebanon are abundant from HA to Assir to the salafis and their allies to the baath and the PSP , add to them any armed Palestinians and maybe Syrians. The army should have check-up point everywhere, especially in the Bekaa, around the Dahiah, Tripoli and Sidon and all roads linking mount Lebanon to the Bekaa, the South and the North. Just worrisome !

    That is simple:
    Grad: Syrian Army
    The fact that it was launched from a Christian area: Aoun Orangina
    Any Questions?

      My friend where do you get your info from? The 122 mm grad rocket is being used by the syrian so called rebels especially jabhat alnusra…..its accurracy is diminished when the original launching pad is not used…..and why would aoun or any of the christian leaders in the current circumstances in lebanon be involved in any of this? The last thing they would want is to get caught in between any sunni-shiite fights…The fact that it was launched from a christian area proves that at the moment certain elements are trying to cause sectarian strife in lebanon…just like they did in syria,iraq and egypt….il let you work out the rest.
