[AnNahar] State Security agents on Thursday thwarted an attempt to fire rockets at the northern Bekaa town of al-Nabi Othman, in the first such achievement by security forces in that region.

"State Security seized four rockets that were set to be fired from Arsal's outskirts towards al-Nabi Othman," LBCI television reported.

"Boxes of explosives" were found next to the rockets, it added.

The aforementioned town had come under several rocket attacks in recent months. Several people were killed or maimed by the falling rockets.

Al-Nabi Othman was also rocked by a suicide car blast that left two Hizbullah
