Lebanon Informed U.S. of Measures to Curb Katyusha Fire
Lebanon has assured the U.S. State Department that measures had been taken together with the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to curb further Katyusha fire from south Lebanon into northern Israel.
The daily An Nahar on Tuesday said the Lebanese stand was made after U.S. sources voiced fear over the rocket attacks against Israel during the conflict in Gaza.
The sources said the U.S. sources, however, hurried to announce that Washington is aware that the Lebanese government is exerting lots of effort to prevent recurrence of such attacks.
They said Principle Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman and his assistant David Hill exchanged views with Lebanon”s ambassador to Washington Antoine Shedid on this matter.
