Hezbollah takes responsibility for the rocket barrages on northern Israel this morning.

The terror group claims to have targeted several Israeli military sites, including the Meron air traffic control base and the Amiad camp — located some 20 kilometers from the border — as well as the factory of the Plasan armored vehicle manufacturer in Kibbutz Sasa.

Hezbollah says the attacks are a response to last night’s Israeli strike in southern Lebanon’s Jouaiyya, which killed top commander Taleb Abdullah and three other operatives.

Abdullah is considered to be the most senior Hezbollah commander killed by Israel amid the fighting.
