JERUSALEM - Israeli jets attacked a Palestinian militant group's training base in southern Lebanon early Wednesday, hours after an Israeli border town was hit by rocket fire, the military said.
The base located south of Beirut is operated by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a small group that has been waging a decades long fight against the Jewish state.
"This is in response to the firing of projectile rockets last night toward Israeli communities," the military said.
It said it views such attacks with "extreme severity" and holds Lebanon responsible.
There was no immediate word on casualties or damage in the strike, launched after three rockets landed in a residential area of Kiryat Shemona. The army said the rockets damaged some property but caused no injuries.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. Both Hezbollah guerrillas and Palestinian militants operate in nearby southern Lebanon.
The raid came a month after Israeli jets attacked a command post of the Hezbollah guerrilla group in south Lebanon, responding to Hezbollah rocket and mortar attacks that wounded 11 Israeli soldiers and damaged a house in a border community.
Israel withdrew from an occupied enclave in southern Lebanon in 2000. While fighting in the area has dropped since then, the border remains tense and Hezbollah frequently targets Israeli troops in the disputed Chebaa Farms area.
Lebanon and Syria say Chebaa Farms is Lebanese territory, but U.N. cartographers who surveyed the border after the Israeli withdrawal said it belongs to that part of Syria which Israel has occupied since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Israel says it will discuss control of the area only in future peace talks with Syria.
Yawn. Wake me when Israel actually does something other than the usual tit-for-tat retaliation crap.
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - Israeli jets attacked a Palestinian militant group's training base in southern Lebanon early Wednesday, hours after an Israeli border town was hit by rocket fire, the military said.
The strike against the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command was Israel's deepest inside Lebanon since June 2004.
Lebanese witnesses reported hearing explosions as warplanes roared over the guerrilla base of the Syrian-backed group, which has been waging a decades long fight against the Jewish state.
"This is in response to the firing of projectile rockets last night toward Israeli communities," the Israeli military said.
It said it views such attacks with "extreme severity" and holds Lebanon responsible.
There was no word on casualties or damage in the raid, which came after three rockets landed in a residential area of Kiryat Shemona. The army said the rockets damaged some property but caused no injuries.
Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group and the mainstream Fatah Palestinian faction denied involvement in rocket attack.
In Wednesday's raid, the witnesses said two explosions were heard as the planes struck at the group's base, a maze of concrete fortified tunnels built inside a hill five miles south of Beirut. Two missiles were fired at the attackers.
Lebanese troops at a checkpoint confirmed an air raid and sealed off the area, preventing journalists from approaching.
Israeli warplanes struck the same base in June 2004 to retaliate for a rocket attack on an Israeli naval boat

The PFLP-GC's commander is headquartered in Syria but the group maintains military bases in Lebanon, where it is accused of taking orders from Syria in support of its policies in Lebanon.
The PFLP-GC has carried out some high-profile attacks against Israel since it was formed in 1968: It hijacked one Israeli airliner, machine-gunned another at Zurich's airport, and then blew up a Tel Aviv-bound Swissair plane, killing all 47 aboard.

Long Live Israel!!!!!
How come when Israel is shelled from a neighboring country and they have to fly over there to stop the shelling the headlines always read Israel attacks it's neighbors?
Just a little MSM bias here?
sure does!
Lebanon has a long history of granting terrorist access to Israel's northern border.
Lebanon is responsible for what goes on in her border.
She is attacked because the terrorist continue to have safe haven in her south.
They react by isolating Israel economically, diplomatically, academically...
Israel has to worry about the world's response since she is not an island or self-sufficient.
As for no one not caring... if only that were true. But the world does care. And is not afraid to "punish" Israel. Israel has felt this before.
Let's have some proof that the Saudis control US foreign policy...
Smite them real good!
"What is best in life?" To crush the jihadists, to drive their minions before you, and to hear the lamentations of the mullahs! Allahu fubar!
"Here's where the fun begins..."
This is no new news! These are remnants of the Syrian occupation. Do not ask me who is still covering them and for what purpose.

Yeah. Israel should think hard about why they are attacked.
According to the liberals, after pearl harbor, America should think hard about why it got attacked by Japan. Hmmm, must years of oppression against Japan, I guess?
