Two hand grenades were found Thursday evening outside the Mar Jerjes Church in the Jezzine district town of Roum, state-run National News Agency reported.

“A General Security intelligence force cordoned off the area around the Mar Jerjes Church after two hand grenades were discovered outside it,” NNA said.

A bomb technician was called in to remove the grenades from the location, the agency added.

LBCI television meanwhile said that the grenades “turned out to be leftovers from the Israeli occupation.”

MTV for its part said the two grenades “were not set for detonation.”
