Hezbollah takes responsibility for the rocket barrage on the northern border community of Shtula a short while ago.

In a statement, the terror group says the rocket attack comes as a response to an Israeli violation of the ceasefire when it allegedly carried out artillery shelling in the southern Lebanese town of Yater earlier.

Hezbollah has taken responsibility for five other attacks on Israeli forces stationed in southern Lebanon today, despite the ceasefire.
