A Lebanese security source says the rocket fired into Israel earlier tonight was launched from Dheira, three kilometres from the border with Israel.

The same source notes that Israeli helicopters were seen flying around the border area.

In mid-July, at least nine rockets were fired from Lebanon at Israel, prompting it to retaliate with artillery fire.

Lebanese military officials had, at the time, said they believed the attacks were carried out by a small Palestinian group in an act of solidarity with Gaza terror groups.
