Lebanese army detains suspects over cross-border rocket fire
The Media Line Staff
Lebanese Army Commander General Rodolph Haykal announced Saturday that several suspects have been detained in connection with Friday’s rocket fire from southern Lebanon into northern Israel. During a visit to military posts along the border, Haykal said the army was investigating the incident and warned that such attacks ultimately serve “the enemy.”
Haykal reiterated the military’s commitment to defending Lebanon regardless of political or sectarian divisions and to enforcing UN Security Council Resolution 1701. He also accused Israel of hindering the army’s full deployment in the south by occupying Lebanese land and violating national sovereignty.
Israeli airstrikes on Friday targeted sites in southern Lebanon and a building in Beirut’s Dahieh district after the rocket fire. Lebanese sources reported six people killed and 21 injured. The strike in Dahieh—Hezbollah’s stronghold—was Israel’s first there since November and marked a sharp rise in tensions despite a truce brokered by the US and France last year.
