The Hezbollah terror group takes responsibility for last night’s missile attack on Ashdod, claiming to have targeted an Israeli Navy base at the city’s port.

In a statement, Hezbollah says it targeted the Ashdod Naval Base with “precision missiles.”

According to the IDF, one missile was launched from Lebanon shortly after 1 a.m., and it was successfully intercepted.

No damage or injuries were reported in the attack, one of the deepest in Israel carried out by Hezbollah.
