Katiosha Rockets Target Akkar
This just in. According to LBC, 5 Katiosha rockets have hit areas in Akkar, north Lebanon. These come one day after the Brammertz report warned of an upcoming political instability that could hinder the work of the investigation.Katioshas are the weapons of choice of Hezbollah against Israel.
