Lebanon army: Rocket site located after Israeli attack on Beirut suburb
Shafaq News/ The Lebanese Army located the launch site of two rockets fired toward Israel, hours after Israeli airstrikes reached Beirut’s southern suburb, the military revealed on Friday.
According to the army’s statement, the rockets were launched from Qaaqaaiyet El-Jisr in Nabatieh, north of the Litani River. Authorities have opened an investigation to determine those responsible.
The army accused Israel of using the rocket fire as pretext to escalate its operations, denouncing the strikes as a “blatant and repeated violation” of Lebanese sovereignty and international law.
Lebanese Armed Forces reported coordinating civilian safety in affected areas, urging residents to follow official guidance. They also confirmed continued surveillance along the southern border, pledging to take necessary measures to preserve stability.
