<p>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.</p>
<p>The exchange of fire
happened after Israel seized the Lebanese part of Ghajar over the
weekend, further heightening border tensions.</p>
<p>The Lebanese Foreign
Ministry called for "Israel's immediate and unconditional withdrawal
from all the Lebanese territories it still occupies."</p>
<p>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fully withdrawn from Lebanon.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
