A Lebanese security source said that Israeli warplanes fired a least three missiles at a base for the Palestinian resistance to the south of Beirut on Monday evening.

The source explained that the attack on al-Neima village, 20 Km to the south of Beirut " targeted an area where there is a huge base for a radical Palestinian group which has Damascus as a headquarters." A statement by the Israeli occupation forces said that " the raid came as an answer to firing missiles from Lebanon unto Israeli naval vessels sailing in the Israeli territorial waters in the Mediterranean waters earlier in the day. No reports on immediate material or human casualties were given.

An official in the People's Front For the Liberation of Palestine -- the general command, called Abu Rushdi said that Israeli planes fired on Monday two missiles at previous positions for the front on the Lebanese coast facing al-Naema town. He added " we do not know in particular the target which was bombarded."
