Hezbollah claims responsibility for the large rocket barrage on northern Israel.
In a statement, the terror group says it launched dozens of Katyusha rockets at Israeli military bases in the Galilee.
It says that the attack is a response to recent Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, including one earlier today that killed one of the terror group’s operatives, and an alleged strike in Nabatieh last night.
According to the IDF, around 40 rockets were fired in the attack and many of them were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system.
Police say that some of the rockets caused damage to property, and the Fire and Rescue Service says it is working to extinguish fires sparked by the attack.
