Lebanese Army locates rocket launch site in south Lebanon

The Lebanese Army located the site where two rockets were fired toward northern Israel on Friday morning and has subsequently launched an investigation into who is responsible for the attack, which Hezbollah has firmly denied any involvement in.

The rockets were reportedly launched from an area in Qaaqaait al-Jisr, in the Nabatieh district, north of the Litani River.

In a statement, the army condemned the Israeli retaliation, which it described as an escalation of aggression, using the rocket fire as a pretext to target multiple areas in southern Lebanon, including Beirut. The army called these actions a "blatant and repeated violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and its citizens' security," accusing Israel of violating international law and breaching the cease-fire agreement.

While in Paris for meetings with the French president, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun released a statement affirming Hezbollah's firm denial of involvement in the attacks. “Everything indicates Hezbollah is not responsible” for the rocket fire towards Israel, Aoun said. 

The army’s units, deployed across various regions, are actively monitoring the situation and urging citizens to follow safety instructions to avoid further harm. The military emphasized that it is taking necessary measures to control the situation along the southern borders.
