Lebanese Army Links March Israel Attacks to Hamas

The Lebanese army has arrested several Palestinians and Lebanese suspected of launching rockets into Israel from southern Lebanon in March, with some of the detainees reportedly linked to Hamas. The arrests followed raids in Palestinian refugee camps, and the army seized equipment and a vehicle used in the attacks. Both Hezbollah and the Lebanese military have denied Hezbollah's involvement, instead focusing investigations on Palestinian operatives. The rocket attacks led to Israeli airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs and have heightened tensions along the border. Ongoing accusations between Israel and Lebanon continue over compliance with a fragile ceasefire agreement established in November. Investigations into the detainees and efforts to apprehend additional suspects are ongoing.
