Rockets fired from Lebanon towards Israel

At least three rockets have been fired from south Lebanon towards Israel late on Thursday. The Israeli army said they landed in the sea.

"A short while ago, three rockets were fired from Lebanon into the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of northern Israel," the military said in a tweet.

Lebanese news outlets, including MTV and the Daily Star, reported that Lebanon's security forces arrested Palestinian nationals linked to the rocket attack.

Al Jazeera cited a security source as saying that the rockets were launched from al-Rashidiya Palestinian refugee camp outside the southern coastal city of Tyre.

Hezbollah, which has a large security presence in the area, has not fought an all-out war with Israel since 2006. In the past, including during the 2014 Gaza war, Palestinian armed groups unrelated to Hezbollah have claimed firing rockets at Israel.
