Hezbollah claims latest rocket attack
The Hezbollah terror group takes credit for the latest rocket attack on Kiryat Shmona and Beit Hillel, claiming it shot dozens of Katyusha and Falaq rockets at an army position.
Israel said it identified five launches.
Hezbollah claims the attack was launched to avenge an Israeli strike earlier in the day that killed a member of the Iran-backed group responsible for building weapons.
Several fires are being reported as a result of the rocket strikes, including in Beit Hillel and Kiryat Shmona.
