The Lebanese army says search operations have led to the discovery of 20 rockets launchers near the Lebanon-Israel border.
The army says in a statement that four of the launchers discovered had rockets inside them and were ready to be fired at Israel.
The army says military experts are working on dismantling the launchers, which were discovered near the village of Qlaileh, south of the port city of Tyre.
Over the past days dozens of rockets have been fired from Lebanon into northern Israel as tension rises in the region over the war in Gaza — some by Palestinian terror groups and some by Hezbollah.
