Israel’s air force bombed a militant target in Lebanon on Friday in retaliation for a cross-border rocket salvo on Thursday, a spokesman said.
An Israeli military source said the “terror site” bombed was near Na’ameh, between Beirut and Sidon, but did not immediately provide further details. Israel said Thursday’s rockets, which caused damage but no casualties, were fired by Islamic radicals.
