Over 15 rockets have been fired toward the border villages of Kfarchouba
and Mazraat Halta by Israeli forces on Thursday morning, to retaliate
against the firing of two rockets from southern Lebanon by unidentified
individuals.

The exchange of fire happened after Israel seized the Lebanese part of
Ghajar over the weekend, further heightening border tensions.

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry called for "Israel's immediate and
unconditional withdrawal from all the Lebanese territories it still
occupies."

Lebanese Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati urged "the United Nations to
work to stop the Israeli violations... in the recent period of the Blue
Line," a demarcation line between Lebanon and Israel published by the
United Nations in 2000 to determine whether Israel had fully withdrawn from
Lebanon.

Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based armed group and political party, on Thursday
called on the Lebanese government and people to act against Israeli
violations in Ghajar.

Located along the border between Lebanon and the Israel-occupied Golan
Heights, Ghajar, an Alawite-majority village that the Blue Line crosses,
was cut off from Lebanon after the Israeli army erected a fence to its
north, in violation of UN Resolution 1701.

Apart from occasional tensions in recent months, the Lebanese-Israeli
border has largely remained quiet since Israel fought a month-long war with
Hezbollah in 2006.
