Two rockets were launched at Israel from Lebanon overnight on Tuesday, setting off sirens but causing no damage or injuries, and the Israeli military said it had responded with artillery fire.
Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz suggested the incident could be linked to long-running governance problems rocking Lebanon.
One of the rockets was shot down by missile defenses and the other landed in an open area, the military said.
The Lebanese army said Israel had fired at the Wadi Hamoul area at dawn but that no injuries or damage had resulted. It said three Grad rocket launchers had been found in the Al Qulaylah area, one of them with a rocket prepared for firing that was subsequently disabled by the army’s specialized units.
