The Hezbollah terror group takes responsibility for this morning’s missile attack on the Mount Meron base in northern Israel.
Hezbollah has attacked Mount Meron, located some eight kilometers (5 miles) from the Lebanon border, several times amid the ongoing war, launching large barrages of rockets towards the site, as well as guided missiles at the sensitive air traffic control base that sits atop it.
The IDF reported no injuries in this morning’s attack, during which three projectiles were fired, one of which was intercepted.
