Media sources confirmed that a missile was launched from the Lebanese town of Marjayoun towards the occupied northern territories of Palestine.

The sources said sounds of sirens in the Zionist settlements north of the occupied territories were heard after the fall of the rocket.

The Zionist military said it was investigating reports from residents of the northern Israeli town of Metula that they had heard the explosion.

Israeli forces and UN troops investigated the area near the Lebanese border early on Monday but did not detect any activity or damage. “An explosion was heard. Soldiers are searching the area. The cause is still being investigated,” an Israeli military spokeswoman said.

A Lebanese high-ranking military official denied the attack. “No rocket was fired on Israel,” the official told Voice of Lebanon radio although he confirmed that an explosion had taken place. 

Al-Manar website sources said an Israeli patrol moved near the barbed-wire fence near Al-Metula region facing the town of Kfar Kila.

“Unknown side had fired a 107Katyusha rocket  from the vicinity of the town of Burj Almolouk - Deir Mimas, and fell in the southern part of Al-Metula border settlement which led to the launch of sirens in Metula and Kiryat Shmona. Also alerting movements were observed in the region opposite to Khiam plain,” the sources indicated.
