Six rockets were fired from Lebanon toward Israel late Monday, but they apparently fell short of the border fence. The military said it responded with artillery fire.

The rockets triggered warning sirens in some communities near the border. The army later ordered communities within four kilometers (2.5 miles) of the northern border to open bomb shelters.


There were no injuries reported.

A Lebanese military source confirmed to AFP that several Grad-type rockets had been fired from the Shebaa Farms area in southern Lebanon toward Israel.


The United Nations peacekeeping force along the border, UNIFIL, said early Tuesday that the border was now calm.

“UNIFIL detected firing of rockets from the general area of Rashaya Al Foukhar north of Kfar Chouba in S. Lebanon,” UNIFIL tweeted, noting that the Israel Defense Forces returned artillery fire toward location from which the rockets originated.


It was the third time rockets have been fired from Israel’s northern neighbors in recent days, as intense fighting between Israel and Gazan terrorists continued for an eighth day, amid protests across the Arab world against Israel’s actions there and in Jerusalem.

Three missiles were fired at Israel from Syria on Friday evening, hours after the Lebanese Hezbollah terror group said one of its members was killed by Israeli fire during a protest on the border.


One rocket fell inside Syria and the other two landed in open areas of the Golan Heights, the military said.

On Thursday, Israeli forces fired tank shells as a warning to a group of protesters who broke through the border fence with Lebanon near Metulla, sabotaging the barrier and setting fires, the military said.

Lebanon said one person was killed and Hezbollah later said 21-year-old Mohammad Tahan was a member of the Shiite terror group.

Lebanese President Michel Aoun strongly condemned “the crime committed by Israeli forces” when they opened fire at the group.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the rocket fire or confirmation of a link between the events. However, Hezbollah and other Iran-supported militias have attacked Israel from Syrian territory in the past.

On Thursday, three rockets were fired from Lebanon at Israel, all of which landed in the sea. A spokesperson for Hezbollah told Lebanon’s L’Orient Today news outlet that the terror organization was not behind the attack.

Israel has a waged a nearly decade-long bombing campaign in Syria aimed at thwarting Iran and allied militias, including Hezbollah, from setting up bases to attack the Jewish state from or transferring advanced arms.

It seems Lebanon has forgotten how Israel nearly bombed out all their civilian infrastructure in 2006.

Thing that made me laugh is that despite all the rockets fired from Lebanon fell into Lebanon, Israel still fire at them for even thinking of it in the first place

Seems they want another round of ajekun Iya.

This thing might escalate

Israel u are in the middle of enemy may God protect you, but no will talk nw when this countries are firing missiles to Israel, but only USA just one country sides Israel they will be shouting

Southern Lebanon should pick there fight. Miracle cannot happen if Israel decides to remove them from the map of the world. No nation in the middle east can challenge a country known for war. A country that has been chased out of their land and still come back stronger. A country which an average citizen is war ready. A country who has the best assassins in the world. A country that trains a part of the US military. Southern Lebanon harken to my voice , Israel no get Joy at all. Them ready fight the whole Arab nations one time and them go still defeat them. If Buhari put mouth for this matter then we will happily donate the north for Barbeque along with that Vulture griller.

First it was Palestine now Lebanon and Syria have joined. I hope this won't be a repetition of the 6 days war ?

Generation come Generation go. This fight liveth in their blood. Lets go back to the root, how Isrealites took over The Promised Land, Cannan

Israel does not mind the matter escalating. The Israelis have already accepted the reality of proactively warring as the only way to survive in that place.

Go back to 1967 war, Egypt, Jordan and Syria were gathering to attack Israel unprovoked with a way larger army.

Most nations would quickly form defensive positions and start begging USA and soviets to intervene against the gangup.

Not Israel, at night they invaded Egypt unexpectedly and destroyed the whole Egyptian airforce in a few hours.

Israeli field General, Ariel Sharon seized the entire Syrian Golan heights and never asked the Israeli govt for permission.

So let it escalate.

Vulture griller

I love Israel. You only forgive or show mercy to who asks for one. You don't show mercy to someone that wants to kill u. That's foolishness

Lebanese President is not a good student of history or perhaps he wants Isreal to finish what they started few years ago.


No one is condemning Lebanon now, the media see nothing wrong with Lebanon firing rockets towards Isreal, when Isreal retaliates that is when the media will be agog with one sided and biased story.


The God of Abraham and Isaac is with Isreal and any Nation that rises against her shall be dealt with.


Y'all Islamic terrorists Countries that are forming alliance against Isreal should know that God of Abraham made a convenant with Isreal and Isrealis and no terrorists can triumph over them.
God's convenant with Isreal is real


This thing is simple if Hamas lay down its arms and give peace a chance Isreal will stop the bombardment but if Isreal dares to lay down arms all these Islamic terrorists will bombard the State of Isreal till it is leveled to the ground.

I stand with Isreal

War unending.

If only they know isreal they won't try this...the Germans don teach isreal well...

Good one from the istreali. More bullets to their guns

In my understanding he fought in Golan during the six days war. But fought in Sinai during Yom Kippur war with Egypt.

Keep on bombing the dirty terrorist till they are on their knees.

He knew the terrain of Israel`s south very well starting from when he was incharge of unit 101 and thereafter the suez war of 1956.so even in 1967 as a general,he was deployed to the south to fight and remember Egyptian army was the main threat in the middle east as a whole.
