| [AnNahar] Two rockets landed Friday in the heights of the northern Bekaa town of al-Nabi Othman, causing no casualties, state-run National News Agency reported. The rockets were fired by turbans positioned in the outskirts of the northern Bekaa border town of Arsal, NNA said. The attack prompted the army to fire heavy artillery and multiple rocket launchers at the posts of the Lion of Islams, the agency added. A similar rocket attack took place on Wednesday when al-Nabi Othman's plain was struck by a projectile also fired from Arsal's outskirts.
