Rocket Launcher False Alarm
Tensions remained in south Lebanon on Friday following the announcement of a discovery of a Katyusha launcher close to the Lebanon-Israel border at the Marjayoun region that turned out to be false.
Joint Lebanese military and UNIFIL inspection of the region proved that no launcher was present.
On Thursday evening, an army intelligence unit found south of the Habariyeh village a wooden rocket launcher fixed to the ground ready to be used for launching rockets into Israel. An army unit removed it.
On Wednesday morning, rockets were fired from the same village region towards Israel. Israel responded by firing artillery shells.
Three rockets were fired last week towards Israel causing two slight injuries. No group claimed responsibility for the attack. Israel fired its artillery in responding to the attack.
Israel has warned that in case the rocket launching continues from Lebanon it would respond with its air force next time.
