Al-Nusra Front, Marwan al-Hadidi Brigades Claim Targeting Hermel with Rockets
Al-Nusra Front and Marwan al-Hadidi Brigades claimed on Saturday the responsibility for targeting the Bekaa region of Hermel with seven rockets.
The two extremist groups claimed the attack via twitter.
Marwan al-Hadid Brigades is linked to Abdullah Azzam Brigades, al-Qaida-affiliate.
Earlier, the state-run National News Agency reported that rockets fired from Lebanon's eastern mountain range landed Hermel.
The news agency didn't specify the number of rockets that hit the area.
The incident comes a day after four rockets hit the area causing no casualties but material damage only.
Syrian rebel fighters have claimed responsibility for firing many of the numerous rockets that have recently landed in Hermel.
President Michel Suleiman has repeatedly called for “adopting all necessary procedures to protect citizens and Lebanese towns and prevent any attack against them.”
