Lebanese army foils rocket launch attempt toward occupied Palestinian territories

The Lebanese Army announced on Sunday that it had thwarted an attempt to launch rockets from southern Lebanon toward the occupied Palestinian territories.

This operation is part of ongoing security efforts to monitor and address activities linked to increasing tensions along the southern border.

In an official statement, the Lebanese Army explained that, after continuous monitoring and investigations, the Intelligence Directorate obtained information about preparations for a rocket launch targeting the occupied territories. This led to immediate action by security forces.

The statement also revealed that a patrol from the Intelligence Directorate, supported by an army unit, raided an apartment in the Sidon-Zahrani area.

During the operation, they seized several ready-to-launch rockets and launch platforms and arrested several individuals involved in the plot.

This announcement follows the Lebanese Army’s recent revelation about the arrest of several individuals suspected of being behind two previous rocket launches from southern Lebanon toward the occupied territories last month.

These ongoing efforts underscore the Lebanese Army's commitment to preventing actions that could escalate tensions and destabilize southern Lebanon.
