Rockets Fired From Lebanon Prompt Israeli Strikes

Israel launched airstrikes on Saturday at sites in southern Lebanon that it said were linked to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, hours after rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel for the first time in months.
The Israeli military said that it had shot down three rockets from Lebanon, and there were no reports of casualties. The volley was the first of its kind since last November, when Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a cease-fire brokered by the United States and France.
The November truce charges the Lebanese government with preventing Hezbollah and other armed groups from operating against Israel. Israel has continued to bombard Lebanon despite the truce, arguing that it is cracking down on militants violating the cease-fire.
And while the agreement initially stipulated a full Israeli withdrawal by late January, Israeli forces still control five points inside Lebanese territory.
