Israel on Thursday accused the Lebanese government of shooting four rockets earlier in the day.

Israel’s IDFSpokesperson Twitter account wrote: “The Lebanese government is responsible for the attack.” IDF stands for Israeli Defense Forces, the country’s military.

But it said that an “intercepted rocket was shot down by the Iron Dome missile defense system.”

The other rockets “fell outside” of Israel’s territory, the account added.
