Hezbollah takes responsibility for the rocket fire on the Krayot area near Haifa this morning, claiming to have targeted a facility belonging to the Rafael defense firm.

The Lebanese terror group says the rocket fire was “an initial response” to the pager blasts in Lebanon last week, which killed more than 30 members of the terror group and wounded thousands of others.

The blasts were attributed to Israel, which has not commented.
