The Lebanese army said on Sunday that after an intense investigation and surveillance, its forces prevented the fire of rocket on Israel.
The troops made a descent into the outskirts of the coastal city of Sidon and found rocket launchers. Several people were placed in police custody and the launchers were confiscated, said the army.
According to a report on Saudi broadcaster Al Arabiya, rocket launchers were linked to Hamas agents in southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Lebanon on Health reported that a person had been killed in an Israeli strike on a car traveling along the coast between Sidon and shoots. Another person was injured in the attack.

Lebanese president Joseph Aoun reiterated his position on Sunday that only state forces should be armed. “The Lebanese people do not want a war and the army must be responsible for arms,” he said at a marking Easter celebrations.
The president’s comments came after Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem, said on Saturday that members of the terrorist group would not disarm until Israel occupied the Lebanese territory.
“We will not allow anyone to remove the weapons from Hezbollah,” said Qassem. “These weapons gave life and freedom to our people.”
