Israel attacks positions of People's Front near Beirut after Katyusha bombardment

Israeli warplanes launched attacks at the positions of the People's Front For The Liberation Of Palestine General Command to the south of the capital Beirut, hours after seven Katyusha missiles fell on a settlement in north Israel.

A spokeswoman for the Israeli army said that the attack targeted a training base used by the People's Front For The Liberation Of Palestine and no immediate report came about human or material losses.

Israeli security sources announced that five Israelis were slightly injured and the electricity was cut from Kreyat Shimona settlement near the Lebanese borders following a missile bombardment against north Israel.

A spokeswoman for the Israeli army said "we can so far confirm that three Katyusha missiles at least fell in Kreyat Shimona" and the Israeli radio said that the explosions of the missiles were also heard in Shaloumi in the western Galilee.

Al-Jazeera Zsatellite tv said that Katyusha missiles fell at settlements in north Israel fired from south Lebanon. He added that seven missiles were fired from Murj Oyoun, Sidon and from the central sector.

The correspondent added that Hizbullah denied any connection to the attack and the People's Front For The Liberation Of Palestine General Command in Lebanon also made the same denial.

Clashes were renewed by the end of November in the occupied Shabaa Farms between Hizbullah and Israel and resulted in killing four Hizbullah members and injuring 11 members in the Israeli army.
