No causalities have been reported in the rocket attacks.

Border areas between Lebanon and Syria have been tense in the past months, with militants in Syria targeting Lebanese villages by firing rockets which have left several casualties. 

Syria has been struggling with a western-backed insurgency which began in March 2011 as a protesting movement but turned to be a cover for terrorist groups including al-Qaeda and al-Nusra Front.
