Rockets launched from Syria amid Palestinian solidarity riots on borders UPDATE: Hezbollah man killed
|
[JPost] Second Front? Kill US too!
Three rockets were launched from Syria towards Israel on Friday evening amid a number of solidarity riots with the Palestinians amid ongoing escalations between Israel and Hamas, as well as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
One of the rockets failed to launch, falling on the Syrian side of the border. The other two rockets fell in an open space, leading to only open air sirens to be sounded. No injuries were recorded.
The Palestinian Tahir Brigade stationed in Syria claimed responsibility for the rockets shortly after firing them.
The incident took place as violence continued to escalate during solidarity riots held on Israel's border with Lebanon, Jordan, in Arab Israeli towns and in the West Bank.
Multiple protestors approached the Lebanese border near the Israeli town of Metulla twice on Friday, once in the early afternoon, and again in the evening.
In the beginning, three suspects cut an entry point in the border fence and crossed into Israel. They were then joined by an additional four suspects, and started a fire in Israeli territory. A fire also broke out on Lebanese territory.
During the incident, one of the suspects, identified as Muhammed Tahan, was shot in the leg by IDF troops before returning to Lebanon with the rest of the suspects and later died of his wounds.
Hezbollah later said 21-year-old Mohammad Tahan was a member of the Shiite terror group.

1 Killed, 1 Hurt as Israel Fires at Protesters on Lebanese Border
[AnNahar] A Lebanese protester was killed and another was wounded Friday afternoon when two Israeli shells landed near them as they were trying to cross the Lebanese border into the Israeli settlement of Metulla, Lebanon’s National News Agency said.
“The Israeli army went on alert, trying to prevent them from advancing towards the fence, which prompted the enemy to fire two shells towards the young men,” NNA added.
“A large force from the Lebanese Army and security forces immediately arrived at the site and prevented the young men from advancing, erecting checkpoints to stop any citizen from advancing towards the barbed wire,” the agency said.
The Israeli army meanwhile said that its tanks fired warning shots toward “a number of rioters who crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory.”
“The suspects sabotaged the fence and set a fire in the area before returning to Lebanese territory,” it added.
Media reports identified the slain young man as the 21-year-old Mohammed Tahan, who hailed from the southern coastal town of Adloun.
On social media, other Lebanese and Palestinian activists said that they were heading to the border area to take part in new protests.
Israel Reportedly Bombs Vehicle on Lebanese-Syrian Border
[AnNahar] An Israeli airstrike overnight targeted a vehicle on the Syrian side of Lebanon’s border near the Lebanese town of Hermel, media reports said.
Al-Jadeed TV said a strong blast was heard at 3:30 am in the Syrian town of al-Jantaliyeh in Qusayr’s countryside after Israeli aircraft bombed a pickup truck.
Residents from the area said the powerful blast echoed across the towns adjacent to Hermel.
Quoting Israeli media reports, Sky News Arabia reported that an Israeli strike targeted “vehicles carrying ammunition” on the Lebanese-Syrian border.
LBCI TV and Radio Voice of All Lebanon (93.3) meanwhile reported that the strike targeted “a vehicle used in smuggling,” causing only material damage.
The development came hours after three rockets were fired from south Lebanon toward northern Israel amid an escalating conflict between Israel and the Gaza-based Palestinian factions.
The Israeli army said those rockets landed into the sea.
