Jihadists Firing at Israel from
Lebanon; Third Straight Day
The malevolent silence by the
enemedia on the relentless rockets raining down on Israel from Hamas is savage. Lebanon bears watching. Hezb’Allah better be
careful — they are in the Islamic State’s sights as well (Hezb’Allah is Shia
and the Islamic State is Sunni). Hezb’Allah needs Israel in order to survive. No injuries reported as at least one rocket
lands in northern Galilee; third straight day of fire on north. By AFP and Times of Israel August 25,

northern Israel on Monday night, the army said, without any immediate reports
of injuries. “At least one rocket fired
from Lebanon hit the Upper Galilee,” the army said in a statement. The rocket
was reported to hit outside a community near the town of Kiryat Shmona.
The IDF said a second rocket
was fired, but did not detail an impact site.
Israeli media indicated the rocket
hit near the ceasefire line, possibly
on the Lebanese side. Israeli artillery
returned fire, toward the source of the launch, the army said. There was no immediate reaction from UNIFIL,
the United Nations force tasked with monitoring the border between Israel and
Lebanon. It was the third consecutive
day in which Israel came under rocket fire from the north as well from the Gaza
Strip in the south. Five rockets from
Syria hit the Golan Heights early Sunday and the night before a rocket was
fired from Lebanon.
There were no casualties in
any of those attacks and no Israeli fire in response. Last month, a rocket fired from Syria
prompted Israeli artillery to shell Syrian army positions. And in June, Israeli warplanes attacked
Syrian military headquarters and positions after an Israeli teenager was killed
in what the Jewish state said was a cross-border attack by President Bashar
Assad’s forces. Other previous incidents
have been put down to stray fire from clashes between Syrian government troops
and rebels.
