The Israeli army said - in a statement - that its artillery fired dozens of shells at different areas in the western sector of southern Lebanon, including an area from which a rocket was fired towards Israel and landed in an uninhabited area near the town of Shlomi al-Bassa, east of Nahariya, without causing any injuries or damage.

The Israeli army accused Palestinian organizations in the camps in Lebanon of firing the shell at Israel, noting that the warnings were not activated or the state of alert was declared in northern Israel.

Al-Jazeera correspondent in Lebanon reported that the Israeli army fired 6 shells at the launch site of two rockets from the south, and that the shells fell in an open area in a valley between the towns of Majdal Zoun and Zebqin.

A Lebanese security source said that two missiles were fired from the south of the country towards the Western Galilee region in northern Israel.

Al-Jazeera correspondent clarified that the area from which the two missiles were launched is called Al-Qalila, which is a mountainous area located south of the city of Tyre, where the United Nations peacekeeping forces (UNIFIL) are deployed.

For its part, the Lebanese media reported that a "Grad" missile had been launched from the Ras al-Ain-al-Qulaylah area, south of the city of Tyre, towards occupied Palestine.

These developments come in the wake of tensions and confrontations over the past two weeks between the Palestinians and the Israeli occupation police in Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, which have sparked Arab anger and international concern.

And the northern border of Israel has witnessed a state of general calm since the war waged by Israel against the Lebanese Hezbollah in 2006.
