Tel Aviv - "Israel's" military has failed to detect alleged rocket fire from Lebanon.
The "Israeli" military said its early-warning system did not warn of the firing of two Katyusha 107 mm rockets from southern Lebanon. The 107 mm rocket, which landed on Jan. 8 in the "Israeli" town of Shlomo, contains a range of eight kilometers.
A military statement acknowledged that the early-warning system was designed to track short-range missile and rocket fire. The statement said rain and fog hampered the system.
"Israel" has installed early-warning systems along its northern border as well as near the Gaza Strip. But officials have reported frequent failures amid daily Kassam-class, short-range missile fire into southern "Israel".
