- Story Text: Two rockets hit a Hezbollah-controlled district in the southern part of Lebanon's capital on Sunday (May 26), residents said, wounding several people.
The attack may have been a response to a speech by the militant group's leader Hassan Nasrallah a day earlier, in which he committed to fighting in Syria's conflict on behalf of his ally President Bashar al-Assad.
The Syrian leader is fighting to end a two-year revolt against his rule. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
