Hezbollah takes responsibility for the rocket fire on central Israel this evening, claiming to have targeted the IDF’s Glilot base near Tel Aviv.

The base is home to the IDF’s signals intelligence Unit 8200, and is adjacent to the Mossad headquarters.

The IDF said five rockets were launched in the attack, some of which were intercepted and the rest struck open areas, causing no injuries or major damage.

Hezbollah launched some 190 rockets at Israel from Lebanon on Monday, mostly targeting the north of the country, according to the IDF.
