Hezbollah takes responsibility for the rocket barrage on Katzrin this morning, claiming in a statement that it targeted a nearby military base.
The terror group says it launched several volleys of unguided Katyusha rockets at the army base in the Golan Heights in response to an IDF strike deep in eastern Lebanon last night.
According to the IDF, some 50 rockets were fired in the attack, with several being intercepted by the Iron Dome system and some impacting Katzrin, causing heavy damage and wounding one person.
