The Lebanese Army has arrested seven people with suspected links to a recent rocket attack on the northern Israeli town of Nahariya. 

The Israeli channel seven reported that the suspects confessed that they were members of the Lebanese branch of the Hamas movement. 

The Lebanese Army also discovered a cache of outdated rockets in Kfar Hmam village southern Lebanon, Press TV's correspondent in Lebanon reported. 

Four rockets fired from Southern Lebanon hit the Israeli town of Nahariya on Thursday wounding four settlers. Israel responded by artillery fire. 

Although Hezbollah was initially accused of launching the rockets, the movement did not claim responsibility for the attack. 

Both Lebanon and Hezbollah have voiced their commitment to the UN Security Council resolution 1701 which ended the 33-day Israeli war against the country in the summer of 2006.
