Arrest warrants were issued on Wednesday against Syrians over their involvement in an attempt to fire rockets from the Aramoun region to Beirut's southern suburbs, reported the National News Agency.

Military Examining Magistrate Fadi Sawan issued three arrest warrants against Mohammed and Ghayyath Qarhathan and Omar al-Dirani.

Mohammed and Ghayyath Qarhathan were interrogated and charged with belonging to an armed terrorist group and attempting to fire the rockets from Aramoun to Dahieh.

Dirani was meanwhile questioned and charged with harboring the two other Syrians.
