Israeli jets launch air raids on southern Lebanon

​By a Staff Reporter: Israeli fighter jets have launched air raids on neighbouring Lebanon following a second day of rocket fire from across the border. “Earlier today , rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israeli territory,” the Israeli air force tweeted.  “In response … fighter jets struck the launch sites and infrastructure used for terror in Lebanon from which the rockets were launched. An additional target in the area from which rockets have been launched in the past was struck as well.”  Lebanese President Michel Aoun said Israel’s overnight airstrikes showed an escalation in its “aggressive intent” towards his country. Aoun also said in a tweet the strikes were a direct threat to the security and stability of southern Lebanon and violated UN Security Council resolutions.
