Two Rockets Fired from South at Israel, at Least One Lands in Lebanon

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Two rockets were fired from south Lebanon towards the Israeli border on Wednesday evening, a Lebanese security official told Agence France Press.

"Two rockets were fired, one fell in what was clearly Lebanese territory, the other went towards Israel," the official said on condition of anonymity. It was not immediately clear where the second rocket fell.

In Israel, an army spokeswoman said: "There are no rockets on Israeli territory."

The Lebanese National News Agency reported that both rockets landed in Lebanon, in Ebel al-Kameh and al-Hamames villages near al-Wazzani river, a hundred meters away from the Israeli border.

Inhabitants of the region said they heard one rocket being fired from the Khiyam plain, while the second's source remains unknown.

In the meantime, the army and the UNIFIL have deployed their units in the region where these rockets landed.

This comes after two rockets ready to be fired against Israel were discovered in southern Lebanon on Monday.

The Army Command said the two 107mm Grad rockets were found between the towns of Halta and al-Mari in the Hasbaya district.

Bigsami
I agree with you but in a different reasoning
The ceasefire between Hamas & Israel means that Egypt now is in control of Hamas' military.
I.e Iran just lost all her influence in Gaza - all the money and weapons gone...no longer their tool.
In front of this strategic loss, Iran wanted to show that it is still in the game - by reminding Israel that tgey still have HA. These 2 rockets are the reminder.

Hizballastan. Need one say more about the state of affairs and mindset that will prevail should HA be allowed to take over the country?

it is apparent that iran is upset about the cease fire agreement reached today.
they seem to need to keep Israel occupied away from them so they forget about their nuclear activities

Pure inferiority complex on their part Geha. They love being controlled so any means to float the ayatollah's boat? they'll do.

You are both on to something. I wrote about it above

What they are most upset about is that this war has sealed the divorce between hamas and iran and put hamas back in the arab and now turkish lap. The region is so sectarianly divided after the iraq war and now the Syrian revolution that Hamas cant afford being with iran no more because the palestenian people are also dying in Syria on bashar's hands. Whichever way you toss the coin the demographics of the region will prevail, HA will wake up soon to a brand new reality, they simply have to co-exist, assasinations and insanity will bring them only death /destruction.

such a crude attempt...blaming HA or the mossad is undermining both their capabilities and intelligence. No one ever though to consider any of the rogue Palestinian factions from one of the various refugee camps plaguing our country?

F.T, the truth is "resistance" has become such a big corrupted enterprise and hence the latest example of fneish's brother and his millions in bad medicince and the examples are countless, why are you denying the facts?

Elemental its funny how you accuse the shia or any hizb supporters of being Iranian when we are all openly proud Lebanese. Yet you clearly say that you are phoenician. I wonder if you still speak the Phoenecian language? oh wait there is no such language anymore oh darn there is also no Phoenecians left! It seems to me that your the one who is not proud to be called Lebanese and an Arab!

The two rockets fired from the south and exploded few hundred meters away were specifically designed for use in the aftermath of an Israeli invasion with Israeli boots on Lebanese ground. The are nicknamed "Zelzalo Ma2hally". The person in charge of the operation just pulled out the wrong stock from the warehouse.

@M8_brainwashers: Lebanese gave 1200 souls against Israel in 2006 were in fact victims of an Idiot who wanted to fight a ruthless Major Air Defense system with rocks and rockets.
Disarm the idiot and his Iranian servant militia so that no one has an excuse to carry weapons and create an unstable heterogeneous country, you really want to stay in bed with Iran then ask them for an Air Defense strategy to supply the state you really belong to and claim that you have roots attached to it otherwise Disarm and make peace with Israel simply because for every 1 dead soldier they normally flatten from the sky few towns and tens of dead innocent people.

(1). Has anyone of you here with any military experience, I mean real ones, not video games, but hard knuckle experience from years of truly painful war? Two rockets were fired from Lebanon, one even landed inside Lebanon for God's sake, does this look like a Hezbollah work, Hezbollah with its skills, experience and its position on the territory? Only a disorganized group, working in the cover of darkness and very little time at its disposal will do such a thing, so bloody amateurish, not a highly organized and disciplined militia like Hezbollah. What Has HA got to win with such a totally stupid thing, to save Bachar or will it only sink his last hope in Lebanon further? Israel is today much more powerful than ever, for get all that BS about Hamas having won anything, Hamas has now diluted its wine to more than 75% and it knows the hurt that it got from its latest venture against Tsahal.

Thumb the1phoenix 22 November 2012, 13:30

(2). If it was Hezbollah, then the Modus Operandi of sending these rockets would be totally different and it knows, that would mean an all out war and Hezbollah will be once again the net loser, far worse than 2006. HA will not only lose on the ground, but also politically, morally and this will start a war from within, involving all the factions against it, HA will lose, period. Why don't we look at who is behind this in truth. Why can't it be the Palestinians, or the Israelis, or even the Syrians of different factions? All the same, what is clear is this, whoever is behind this is clearly someone with a bone to pick with Hezbollah, meaning that it's an entity or entities that want to engulf not only Hezbollah but all the Lebanese into a sure disaster.

Thumb the1phoenix 22 November 2012, 13:31

(3). Today Israel holds the upper ground and we all know that, so I ask, would Hezbollah do such an utter stupidity? Everyone knows how much I dislike Hezbollah for what its been doing since 2005, and my posts testify of how hard I can be in my criticism of it, but I just cannot join the chorus of wild accusations when all logic on the ground point to a totally different direction.
