NICOSIA [MENL] -- For the first time, Hizbullah has test-fired an Iranian medium-range rocket near the Lebanese border with Israel.

Lebanese sources said Hizbullah tested the Fajr-3 rocket on Aug. 25. The sources said three Fajr-3s were launched about six kilometers north of the Israeli-Lebanese border.

One of the 240 mm rockets landed in Israel and the other two fell inside Lebanon. Nobody was reported injured.

This was the first time Hizbullah fired a Fajr-3 rocket from Lebanon. The sources said Hizbullah was provided with the Fajr-3 in 2001, but the rocket remained under the supervision of Iranian military personnel.
