Hezbollah claims to have targeted a sensitive Israeli air traffic control base atop Mount Meron in northern Israel for a second time today.
In a statement, the terror group says it fired anti-tank missiles at the base at around 3:45 p.m., causing damage.
No rocket sirens sounded at that time.
The IDF has not yet publicly commented on the claims, although there are no reports of injuries from attacks on northern Israel today.
Earlier today, Hezbollah fired some 35 rockets at the base, causing no damage as many of the projectiles were intercepted and others hit open areas.
