Israeli jets bomb Lebanon target

The Israeli air force bombed a target south of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, early on Friday, an Israel Defence Forces spokesman has announced, according to BBC. 

The air strike targeted a "terror site" near Na'ameh, between Beirut and Sidon, said an Israeli military source quoted by Reuters.

This comes a day after rockets were fired into Israel from Lebanon.

A total of four rockets were fired from southern Lebanon, a stronghold of the Shia Islamist movement Hezbollah.

No casualties were reported in that attack, although news footage showed some minor damage at a kibbutz near the coastal town of Nahariya.

An Israeli military spokesman said one of the rockets was intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defence system.

Rockets have been fired into Israel intermittently by militant groups since the Israel-Hezbollah conflict in 2006.

But an Israeli army spokesman told the BBC he did not believe Hezbollah was behind Thursday's attack.

Lebanese news agencies reported all four rockets were fired at Israel from the Tyre region in southern Lebanon.
