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.

Amazing holes
These holes are not only amazing, but some of them are really terrifying.
Glory Hole - Monticello Dam, California
A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir

A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir
This is the 'Glory Hole' at Monticello dam, and it's the largest in the world of this type of spillway, its size enabling it to consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second.
Great Blue Hole, Belize
This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a blue hole is situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize .. There are numerous blue holes around the world, but none as stunning as this one.
Kimberley Big Hole - South Africa
Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, this 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds before being closed in 1914.
Mirny Diamond Mine, Serbia
It's an absolute beast and holds the title of largest open diamond mines in the world. At 525 meters deep, with a top diameter of 1200 meters, there's even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters having been sucked in.
Sinkhole in Guatemala
These photos are of a sinkhole that occurred early this year in Guatemala . The hole swallowed a dozen homes and killed at least 3 people.

Lebanese Independence Day ...We are all for our nation, for our flag and glory!
November 22 is the National Independence of Lebanon. Lebanon gained its independence in 1943 which ended the French mandate. May Lebanon always enjoy sovereignty, independence, freedom and democracy.النشيد الوطني اللبناني
كلنـا للوطـن للعـلى للعـلم
ملء عين الزّمن سـيفنا والقـلم
سهلنا والجبـل منبت للرجـال
قولنا والعمـل في سبيل الكمال
كلنا للوطن للعلى للعلم
كلّنا للوطن
شيخنـا والفتـى عنـد صـوت الوطن
أسـد غـاب متى سـاورتنا الفــتن
شــرقنـا قلبـه أبــداً لبـنان
صانه ربه لمدى الأزمان
كلنا للوطن للعلى للعلم
كلنا للوطن
بحـره بــرّه درّة الشرقين
رِفـدُهّ بــرّهُ مالئ القطبين
إسمـه عـزّه منذ كان الجدود
مجــدُهُ أرزُهُ رمزُهُ للخلود
كلّنا للوطن للعلى للعلم
كلنا للوطن
English translation of the Lebanese National Anthem
We are all for our nation, for our flag and glory!
Our valor and our writings are the envy of the ages.
Our mountains and our valleys, they bring forth stalwart men.
And to Perfection all our efforts we devote.
We are all for our Nation, for our flag and glory!
Our Elders and our children, they await our Country's call,
And on the Day of Crisis they are as Lions of the Jungle.
The heart of our East is forever Lebanon,
May God preserve it until the end of time.
We are all for our Nation, for our flag and glory!
The Gems of the East are its land and sea.
Throughout the world its good deeds flow from pole to pole.
And its name is its glory since time began.
The Cedar Symbol—its symbol for Eternity—is its Pride.
We are all for our Nation, for our flag and glory!
