Hezbollah says bombardment revenge for attack on allied group

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

Hezbollah claims responsibility for a barrage on Kiryat Shmona, saying it targeted the northern city and a nearby army base with “dozens of rockets.”

The terror group says the attack is a response to an Israeli airstrike overnight in southern Lebanon’s Habbariyeh, which reportedly killed seven people.

The IDF had said it targeted a key terror operative from a group allied with Hezbollah in the strike, killing others as well.
