Israel launched rockets at an artillery launch site in Lebanon on Aug. 5 as a response to attacks from the Lebanese earlier this week, officials said.

The Israeli military said its fighter jets targeted the launch sites from which the Lebanese rocket attacks originated on Aug. 4. A separate infrastructure used in past terror attacks on Israeli territory was also struck in the airstrikes.
