4 rockets fired at Israel from Tyre , Lebanon

Share:

Four rockets were fired from Lebanon towards northern Israel on Thursday, Lebanese and Israeli officials said.

Lebanon’s official National News Agency said the rockets were fired from the Lebanese city of Tyre.

Israel’s Army Radio reported that one of the rockets was deflected in flight by the country’s “Iron Dome” anti-missile system.

At least three rockets landed in unpopulated areas, causing no casualties or damage, Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Samri told Bloomberg News.

Air raid sirens were triggered in northern towns, including Nahariya and Kiryat Shemona, and residents said they heard explosions.

“I heard a weak explosion, and then in parallel to the siren, I heard a stronger boom,” Keinan Engel, who lives in Nahariya, told Army Radio, according to Reuters. “I went to take cover, in a reinforced room.”

While no group has yet claimed responsibility for the rockets, southern Lebanon is a stronghold of the Shiite Islamist movement Hezbollah, and militant groups have sent rockets into Israel in the past. Rockets fired from Lebanon last struck Israel in November 2011.

violation of Lebanese sovereignty
President Michel Suleiman on Thursday condemned the firing of rockets from Lebanon at Israel as a “violation of Resolution 1701 and Lebanese sovereignty.”

The president called on the relevant authorities to “unveil the perpetrators and refer them to the judiciary.”

Also caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said the rocket attack was a “clear attempt to disrupt the security situation in the South and turn Lebanon again into an arena for settling scores and sending messages in one direction or another.”

“The Lebanese government condemns the incident and considers it a blatant violation of UNSCR 1701,” Mikati added.

          Yes. I read it was by a palestinian camp. I just want the palestinians to have their own country so they can stop spreading problems in Lebanon. This topic is probably one of the only things I don’t support Israel on.

          We are getting rid of those squatters when the squatters of Israel give back the land to the squatters refugees in Lebanon, You see Some Squatters came to the region in 1948 They call themselves Jews, But before those Jews and Volcheviques (or was it Vulture-viques?) arrived, England defiled all Christian of the Palestine Registry (Muhtar U Baladiye) to make it easy in the eyes of the International Community as IF Palestine was only Muslim,
          In 1973 We got 360,000 refugees in Lebanon as a request from the UN, Now We have Your savings and sooner or later You WILL get the pleasure to meet those who love You so much for taking the land from them, Is unavoidable is going to happen and I think that You will be one of the first Charmoutas to be very happy under a Palestinian Zeb. ;-)))

          And Lebanon will Be free as it was before… AAAHHH The good Life!

          1. Its weird to call the grandchildren of those who went through a war 65 years ago as “refugees”, dont you think? refugee status is not inherited and no other group in human history has such a title.

            More Arabs immigrated to Palestine than Jews did (economic reasons), the vast majority of them are not even indigenous to the land.

            Send them to Jordan, our friend Abdullah will be thrilled 😀
