Lebanese sources report that Hezbollah rockets fired overnight from the village of Ghaziyeh in the Sidon district landed near a church in the Christian village of Al-Dousieh, causing panic among residents. No casualties or damage were immediately reported.
Lebanese sources, reported by the Abu Ali Express channel, say Hezbollah rockets fired overnight from Ghaziyeh in the Sidon district misfired or fell short, landing near Saint George's Church in the Christian village of Al-Dousieh. The incident caused panic but no casualties or structural damage have been reported.
This is not the first time Hezbollah rocket fire has endangered Christian communities in southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer reported on June 5, Hezbollah rockets struck Saint George's Church in the area, after which the organization falsely blamed Israel. The Alma Research Center at the time characterized such incidents as documented and not exceptional.
What remains unclear is whether the IDF recorded this launch as a threat to Israel or an internal Lebanese misfire. The IDF has not commented on this specific incident. Previous similar events triggered alerts in northern Israel when rocket trajectories were ambiguous.
