The Hezbollah terror group claims responsibility for firing a barrage of rockets at the northern Israeli city of Kiryat Shmona.

In a statement, Hezbollah claims to have launched 30 rockets at Kiryat Shmona in response to an earlier IDF strike on a home in the Lebanese village of Bint Jbeil.

According to local authorities, at least 11 rockets were fired at Kiryat Shmona, four of which impacted in the city, causing damage to homes and infrastructure.

Three rockets were also intercepted by the Iron Dome, with the remainder landing in open areas, local officials in Kiryat Shmona say.
