No fear

The rockets from Lebanon momentarily caused an alarm on the northern front but the Lebanese Government immediately issued a reassurance that it was not launched by them and that it was committed to a truce with Israel, even going as far as condemning the rocket fire. That's good news because it means its only a once off thing by disgruntled Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, and not a war with Lebanon.

As most people see it here, the end of the Gaza war should be soon.
