Beirut - Georges Chahine
The Lebanese army said it dismantled a rocket in southern Lebanon on Thursday morning after two similar rockets were fired towards Israel the day before.
The army command said in a communique that following the attack on Wednesday, the military and UN peacekeepers heavily patrolled the Marjayoun area where the rockets were launched from and found a new rocket on its launcher.
It said a judicial investigation has been launched to find the perpetrators.
The two rockets were fired on Wednesday from Marjayoun toward Israel but fell short and landed in southern Lebanon's al-Khiam valley, the army said.
On Monday, Lebanese officials also found and disarmed two rockets aimed at Israel.
The two incidents coincided with an eight-day Israeli raid on Gaza Strip that came to an end on Wednesday following the announcement of an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire.
