Israel bombs south Lebanon equivalent to Gaza violence
KABUL: (Middle East Press) Israel has unleashed an armaments barrage on the outskirts of Lebanese villages near the southern port city of Tyre.
The state-owned National News Agency said Israel bombarded the vicinity of Batoulieh and Ras al-Ain near the Palestinian refugee camp of Rashidieh on the outskirts of Tyre at a rate of one shell every minute between 11 p.m. and midnight. No casualties were reported.
The Israeli gunfire came after two rockets were fired at Israel from south Lebanon Monday night, in the fourth such attack in as many days.
National News Agency (NNA) said security forces blocked the coastal highway between Tyre and the border town of Naqoura as a safety compute.
A security source told The Daily Star, Lebanese authorities have arrested a suspect near Rashidieh in connection with the recent rocket attacks into Israel.
The source further added the Army had forced strict measures in the region south of the Litani River that is bound by UN Resolution 1701, which ended Israel’s 2006 war on Lebanon.
