Israel warns Lebanon after first rocket attack since ceasefire

Israel has warned it will “respond severely” after rockets were fired from Lebanon – the first since a bilateral ceasefire deal came into effect in November.
Sirens were heard in the northern Israeli town of Metula on Saturday morning and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said three rockets were intercepted. No injuries were reported.
No group has admitted firing the rockets. Lebanon’s prime minister asked the military to take steps to prevent the country being dragged “into a new war”.
IDF chief Eyal Zamir, however, said the “state of Lebanon bears responsibility” for upholding the ceasefire deal that ended 14 months of fighting with Hezbollah, the Lebanese armed group backed by Iran..
Local reports in Lebanon said artillery fire had been fired into some southern locations of the country. Israel has not confirmed.
