Israel shells southern Lebanon after alleged rocket fire
The Israeli regime has reportedly targeted an area in southern Lebanon with heavy artillery fire.
According to Lebanon's al-Mayadeen television network, the regime's military struck an area between "Majdal Zone and the town of Zibqine" early Monday.
Some sources said Israel fired as many as 23 artillery shells towards Lebanon during the assault.
The Israeli regime and Lebanon are technically at war due to the former's 1967-present occupation of the country's Shebaa Farms.
Israel launched two wars against Lebanon in the 2000s. In both cases, it was forced to retreat after suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement.
Some hours before the attack, the Reuters news agency reported firing of "a projectile" from the direction of Lebanon towards the occupied territories. The projectile hit "an open area," the agency added.
Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah, confirmed the attack. The Israeli military claimed that a rocket was fired from southern Lebanon fell near the Israeli town of Shlomi overnight. It said the rocket landed in an open area, but no rocket siren was activated.
Small Palestinian factions in Lebanon sporadically fire projectiles on Israel in retaliation for the regime’s crimes and deadly crackdown in occupied Palestinian territories.
