The Lebanese Army announced that it had located and dismantled three makeshift rocket launchers used in an attack on the Israeli town of Metula earlier on Saturday.

The launchers were discovered between the southern Lebanese towns of Kfar Tebnit and Arnoun, in the Nabatieh district, just north of the Litani River.

In a statement, the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) confirmed that "the military conducted a thorough survey and search operation in response to the rockets fired from Lebanese territory towards the occupied Palestinian territories."

The army's efforts resulted in the discovery and subsequent dismantling of the "rudimentary" launchers.

"The military units continue to take the necessary measures to control the situation in the south," the statement said.
