Hezbollah takes responsibility for the rocket fire on the Western Galilee and Haifa Bay area earlier, claiming to have targeted an Israeli military base south of Nahariya.

The IDF said that the rockets were intercepted or struck open areas, with no injuries caused.

Hezbollah says the rocket fire is a response to Israel’s Wednesday airstrike in Beirut, which killed the chief of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force.

The terror group claims responsibility for several more explosive drone and rocket attacks on Israeli troops stationed in southern Lebanon today.
