Lebanon mapLebanese President Michel Sleiman tasked on Friday caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour to file an urgent complaint to the U.N. Security Council against the Zionist enemy attack on Naameh town, south of the capital Beirut.

“The border violations must be resolved by UNIFIL's (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) investigation committee and not by aggression or violating the sovereignty (of Lebanon),” Sleiman said.

Earlier on Friday, the Zionist war jets targeted sites belong to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine between Beirut and Sidon in response to four rockets launched at northern Occupied Palestine Thursday.

Thursday rockets landed in the area between Nahariya and Akka. No casualties were reported.

For his part, Mansour denounced the attack, confirming that the Lebanese state would file a complaint to the U.N.

"Any violation of U.N. Security Council resolution 1701 should be dealt with through the UNIFIL and by a direct attack on Lebanon's sovereignty,” Mansour said in a statement.

The attack comes hours after a different organization said it fired four rockets at the Jewish state from Lebanon.

The four rockets were claimed by the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, which claimed similar rocket fire on the Zionist entity in 2009 and 2011.

On Thursday, President Sleiman described the rocket fire as a violation of U.N. resolutions and of Lebanese sovereignty, and urged security forces to hunt down the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
