(Ha'aretz) Uri Ash - Israel Air Force planes fired two missiles at abandoned positions of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC), led by Ahmed Jibril, at Naameh, 20 kilometers south of Beirut, on Monday in response to earlier rocket fire into Israeli territorial waters. Earlier in the day, 107-millimeter rockets were fired by a Palestinian organization from Lebanon and landed near a Dabur Israeli naval vessel patrolling Israeli territorial waters in the Mediterranean. "This is a signal to the Lebanese government," Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said. "There is a government in Lebanon and it is responsible for what goes on in its territory."
