An Israeli aircraft hit early Monday 26 of August , a post belonging to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command (PFLP-GC) in the eastern Bekaa Valley village of Qousaya.
The National News Agency (NNA) said “three hostile strikes” after midnight hit Lebanon’s eastern mountains near Qusaya town “where the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command has military posts”.
Qusaya is only about five kilometers (three miles) from the Syrian border.
The NNA said, meanwhile, that the PFLP air defenses responded to the Israeli strikes.
For its part PFLP sources denied that the strike left casualties, adding that the attack failed to achieve its goal.
In a statement issued later, the Palestinian movement said: “Victories achieved by the Axis of Resistance caused the enemy to lose temper.”
“Targeting one of our posts comes in the context of a preemptive war,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, Lebanon has the right to counter Israeli attacks, says commentator. Political commentator Ken Stone says Israel is in panic over the Syrian government’s recent victories against foreign-backed terrorists.
