Israel announces retaliatory strike on southern Lebanon after rocket fire

The Israeli military said it struck Lebanon with artillery fire early Monday after a rocket was fired into Israel. The army said the rocket landed in an open area in northern Israel, causing no damage or injuries.

But shortly after, it said it struck “the sources of the projectile launched and an infrastructure target in southern Lebanon.” It said “routine activity” in northern Israel was continuing.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Israel and Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group are bitter enemies that fought an inconclusive month long war in 2006. The border area has remained tense but mostly quiet since then.

Small Palestinian groups are also active in Lebanon and have been suspected in several rocket attacks in recent years.
