Lebanese group Hezbollah said on Saturday it had launched dozens of rockets at the headquarters of Israel's 282nd Artillery Brigade and weapons warehouse in Galilee, the first time it has attacked the base situated north-west of Lake Tiberias.
The Israeli military said 55 rockets were detected crossing from Lebanon. “Some of them were intercepted and most of them fell in open areas,” adding there were no casualties.
Hezbollah said its launches were in part a response to Israel's recent deadly attacks on south Lebanon. Three people were killed in Kfar Jouz near the southern city of Nabatieh on Thursday, including a child, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry, and at least three other people were injured in an attack on a motorbike.
On September 10, Israel assassinated Mohammed Al Shaer in the western Beqaa Valley – far away from the border region where clashes have largely taken place. He was believed to be a commander in Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force.
Hezbollah said it is carrying out the attacks on Israel in support of its Palestinian allies in the Gaza Strip. The powerful Lebanese armed group and political party says it will not cease the attacks until Israel stops its bombardment of the Gaza Strip, where more than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed.
A ceasefire between Hamas and Israel is elusive since the militant group's operation in Israel on October 7 cost 1,200 lives and the taking of 240 hostages.
Israeli officials have signalled that their attention could turn from Gaza to south Lebanon soon, with tens of thousands displaced from both sides.
Earlier this week, EU foreign affairs minister Josep Borrell said during a visit to the country “the drums of war have not stopped pounding” in Lebanon.
