Lebanese Army foils new rocket attack attempt, seizes launchers in South Lebanon

The Lebanese Army announced Sunday that it has foiled a planned rocket attack from South Lebanon toward Israeli territory, arresting several suspects and seizing launchers and rockets in a raid.

The operation came as a follow-up to previous arrests made in connection with two earlier rocket launches. Military Intelligence obtained new information indicating preparations for another attack, prompting a raid on an apartment in the Zahrani area near Sidon.

During the operation, soldiers seized several rockets and their corresponding launch platforms.

According to a statement from the army, the detainees are now under investigation under the supervision of the relevant judicial authorities.
