Rockets Aimed at Israel Defused in South Lebanon

Lebanese Army sappers on Thursday defused seven Katyousha rockets deployed in the southern Naqoura region prior to launching towards Israel, a reliable source said.
The source, speaking on condition of further anonymity, said the 107-mm projectiles were fitted with timing devices and defused "a short while before the time set for their launching".
He said the Katyoushas were "discovered" in the area between the border towns of Naqoura and Teir Harfa.
The region, which is within the area of operations of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), Abuts Israel and overlooks most of the Central and Western Galilee.
It could not be immediately determined whether the projectiles were traditional World War II Katyoushas that have a range of 10-12 kilometers or a double-load Iranian-modified version better known by the code of RAAD that has a double range.
Hizbullah used Iranian-modified RAAD Katyoushas, each with a pay load of 100 kilograms of explosives, in its 2006 war with Israel, hitting as deep as the coastal town of Haifa.
