Rocket fire from Lebanon joins ongoing Israel, Hamas battles
The projectiles failed to even enter Israeli territory, and Israeli artillery immediately responded, but it raises the specter of a new front opening in the conflict.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••This is from The Times of Israel.
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 Israel Defense Forces believed that a small Palestinian faction — not the Hezbollah terror group — was responsible for the attack, military spokesperson Hidai Zilberman said on Tuesday morning.
