Al-Nusra Front in Lebanon Claims Firing 3 Rockets on al-Nabi Sheet
The Qaida-inspired al-Nusra Front in Lebanon on Wednesday claimed responsibility for firing three rockets on the Bekaa town of al-Nabi Sheet, in the latest such attack this week.
“The heroes of al-Nusra Front in Lebanon shelled the lairs of the party of Iran (Hizbullah) with three Grad rockets in retaliation to its massacres in Syria,” the group said on its Twitter page.
It also vowed “major operations (against Hizbullah) that will deprive its 'rabbis' of sleep and inject terror into the hearts of its members,” noting that “such a party only understands the language of the sword.”
Earlier on Wednesday, state-run National News Agency said “a rocket landed in an agricultural area between the outskirts of the al-Nabi Sheet and al-Nasriyeh towns, causing no damage.”
It said the rocket was fired from the Eastern Mountain Range on the Lebanese-Syrian border.
On Tuesday, three rockets fired from Syria struck residential neighborhoods in the Bekaa town of al-Labweh, in an attack that was swiftly claimed by the Qaida-inspired Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.
And on Monday, four people were wounded when eight rockets fired from Syria hit the Bekaa town of Brital and its surroundings. Al-Nusra Front in Lebanon claimed responsibility for that attack.
