The attack was a response to the firing of two rockets earlier Thursday from Lebanon into Israel. The rockets caused damage to property in two Israeli towns but no one was hurt, according to Army Radio.
The target of the strike near Beirut was a base belonging to the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine — General Command, according to Lebanon’s Daily Star. According to the paper, an Israeli missile hit a valley in Naameh, an area some eight miles south of Beirut.
