Militants who Fired Rockets into Israel Unprofessional
The identity of militants who have fired rockets into northern Israel remains a mystery amid concern by countries participating in UNIFIL about lack of progress in the investigation into the attack.
Pan-Arab daily al-Hayat quoted sources as saying that the militants who fired the rockets from southern Lebanon the day before were less professional than those who attacked northern Israel last Thursday.
They said the first time the rockets were launched on Israel, there was more professionalism in directing the rockets towards their exact target in Nahariya.
Wednesday”s rockets crashed in an open area in southern Lebanon and northern Israel.
Political sources expressed concern to al-Hayat about holding Fatah al-Islam or al-Qaida solely responsible for the rocket attack, adding that there should be caution in prejudging the probe.
An Nahar daily said countries that have contributed troops to UNIFIL haven”t been convinced by ongoing investigations aimed at unveiling the identity of attackers.
Diplomatic sources also told the newspaper that the European countries might not renew the mandate of their U.N. troops if there is growing danger in south Lebanon.
The reports came as the Lebanese army said in a communiqué that "an unidentified side" launched several rockets on Israel and the Jewish state retaliated by shelling southern Lebanon with several rockets.
