Israeli planes strike pro-Syrian Palestinian base in Lebanon

BEIRUT: Israeli warplanes Sunday bombed bases of a pro-Syrian Palestinian group in Lebanon, including positions near Beirut, after militants fired a rocket salvo deeper than ever before inside the Jewish state.

Six Palestinian fighters were wounded, three of them seriously, and an Israeli soldier was slightly injured in the tit-for-tat attacks, according to the Israeli military and Lebanese police.

The air force raided two bases of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC), while Israel angrily announced it would lodge a complaint with the United Nations.

Israeli fighter bombers swooped several times to fire 15 missiles at a base in Sultan Yaacub, causing the casualties, said police. They then targeted a base in Naameh that comprises a network of underground tunnels and has been the target of several past Israeli air strikes.

The bombing of the base, located near the busy highway linking Beirut to southern Lebanon, triggered traffic jams and panic among motorists, police said.

Earlier, militants in south Lebanon fired several Katyusha rockets towards an army base in northern Israel, wounding a soldier and causing damage, said an Israeli army spokeswoman. The rocket salvo hit a base near Safed, 20 kilometres south of the international border with Lebanon.

Just wondering- if anyone knows off the top of their head I'd be thankful. I'd expect there would be a resolution, wouldn't there? Bonus points if you can provide the resolution, if any, otherwise I'll see what I can dig up.

Thanks,
