In official statements, Hezbollah claims to have launched 200 rockets and a swarm of explosive-laden drones at several Israeli military bases in northern Israel.
It says the attacks are a response to the killing of senior commander Muhammad Nasser in an Israeli airstrike yesterday. Nasser commanded one of Hezbollah’s three regional divisions in southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, the Magen David Adom ambulance service says it treated two people who were lightly hurt after falling while running to shelters amid the attack.
The IDF has not yet commented on the attack.
