JERUSALEM - Israeli jets attacked a Palestinian militant group's training base in southern Lebanon early Wednesday, hours after an Israeli border town was hit by rocket fire, the military said.
The base located south of Beirut is operated by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a small group that has been waging a decades long fight against the Jewish state.
"This is in response to the firing of projectile rockets last night toward Israeli communities," the military said.
It said it views such attacks with "extreme severity" and holds Lebanon responsible.
There was no immediate word on casualties or damage in the strike, launched after three rockets landed in a residential area of Kiryat Shemona. The army said the rockets damaged some property but caused no injuries.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. Both Hezbollah guerrillas and Palestinian militants operate in nearby southern Lebanon.
The raid came a month after Israeli jets attacked a command post of the Hezbollah guerrilla group in south Lebanon, responding to Hezbollah rocket and mortar attacks that wounded 11 Israeli soldiers and damaged a house in a border community.
Israel withdrew from an occupied enclave in southern Lebanon in 2000. While fighting in the area has dropped since then, the border remains tense and Hezbollah frequently targets Israeli troops in the disputed Chebaa Farms area.
Lebanon and Syria say Chebaa Farms is Lebanese territory, but U.N. cartographers who surveyed the border after the Israeli withdrawal said it belongs to that part of Syria which Israel has occupied since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Israel says it will discuss control of the area only in future peace talks with Syria.
The base located south of Beirut is operated by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a small terrorist group that has been waging a decades long fight terror campaign against the Jewish state.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
gotcha..I would never figured it out.
I guess I'm "stuck on stup-head"
Why hold Lebanon responsible? It is Iran and Syria who are the muscle and the money behind Hezbollah.
Yeah, but the terrorist training camp was in Lebanon. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.
It means "bump to the top"
but I don't know how it works.
Skylight installed while you wait.. pretty good shot, right over the desk. ;-)

Happy Hanukkah! Nice present huh :-)
Give them time this probably test run on Iran
Today Beirut
Tommroow Tehran Iran LOL!
I hope they obliterated the damn place.
Just a pratice run for IRAN...
Good for Israel, The time has come to confront these radicals before they get a nuke
Lebanon is a country that:
1. Was cheered just a short time ago by Freepers enthusiastic about ridding themselves of the influence of Islamic radicals.
... and:
2. Got their president assassinated by Syria for doing it.
As I said back when Hezbollah assasinated Lebanon's top reporter, and again when Germany exchanged a PFLP terrorist for its hostage in Iraq, the next "surprise" would be Israeli, Lebanon's LM militia, or U.S. attacks against Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon.
I'd like to read a Breaking News: "Israel wiped out Iran's nuclear capabilities".
June 8, 1982 - Operation Peace for Galilee: The destruction of the entire Soviet-Syrian air-defence system in Lebanon within few hours without a single warplane lost; Syria with the U.S.S.R built up an overlapping network of surface-to-air missiles, and the density of SAM site locations was unmatched anywhere in the world including the U.S.S.R. itself. Also the IAF achieved in dogfights a total of 80 Syrian planes shoot-downs, without a single Israeli plane being shot down.
