Israeli forces fired artillery shells into Lebanon on Wednesday in response to a rocket attack.

Lebanese troops dismantled more rockets that were set to be fired. The exchange was the second since Israel launched an offensive in Gaza and threatens to ignite a new front in the north.

Hours after the initial exchange in the morning, three more Grad rockets that were set to be fired by militants in Lebanon were discovered and dismantled by Lebanese troops. There were no reports of casualties in the retaliatory fire on Lebanon.
