BEIRUT: Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Fouad Siniora Friday said rockets exchange between Lebanon and Israel is dangerous in current situation, official National News Agency (NNA) reported.

Siniora made the remarks when calling Lebanese President Michel Suleiman after the rockets exchange with Israel took place in the afternoon.

He added that what happened is considered a flagrant aggression against Lebanon, the report said.

At least two rockets were fired from South Lebanon at 3:45 p.m. local time (1245 GMT) and hit northern Israel, while the latter returned with 14 rockets. No casualties were reported yet, according to report of NNA.

Siniora urged Lebanese army commander and the UN Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to carry out investigations and take necessary security measures.

He underlined Lebanon's commitment to the implementation of UN Resolution 1701, which ended the 34-day devastating war in 2006 between Israel and Hezbollah.

In accordance with the resolution, UNIFIL were reinforced in South Lebanon to prevent hostilities. The resolution also prohibits any unauthorized arms in UNIFIL's area of operations.

In the initial investigation into the incident, UNIFIL and Lebanon army have found a wooden platform used to launch the rockets, as well as a battery in an orchard at the outskirts of Klaileh village in southern Lebanon.

Israel accused Hezbollah of stockpiling rockets in South Lebanon, following an ammunition depot blast on July 14 in a village in South Lebanon. However, Hezbollah denied Israel's accusation.

UNIFIL's spokesperson Yasmina Bouziane refused to comment on whether there are some links between the blast to Friday's rockets attacks to Israel, saying that the investigation is still ongoing.
