BEIRUT — Two Israeli flare launchers fell Tuesday night on homes in the South Lebanon village of Wadi al-Khansa, near the Israeli border, Khaled Zahran, a resident of the village told L'Orient Today on Wednesday.
The state-run National News Agency reported later Wednesday that remains from the flare launchers were found that afternoon in Wadi al-Khansa and that UNIFIL arrived to inspect the scene.
"At the moment we have our team on the ground looking into this report, verifying the information in coordination with LAF [Lebanese Armed Forces]," UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti told L'Orient Today.
According to Zahran, the two launchers caused damage to the two struck houses but nobody was injured, as the homes were empty.
Israeli forces regularly violate Lebanese airspace, sometimes also kidnapping Lebanese shepherds and firing flare bombs at night.
