IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the Hezbollah rocket barrage this morning was directed at the town of Katzrin, not at a military base as the terror group has claimed.
“Hezbollah launched some 50 rockets this morning at the center of the city of Katzrin. Once again, Hezbollah is firing indiscriminately at Israeli civilians,” Hagari says on X.
“Like any country that protects its citizens, we will act accordingly,” he adds.
