The IDF says slight damage was caused to a sensitive air traffic control base atop Mount Meron following a barrage of rockets and missiles launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon.
According to the IDF, several of the projectiles were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system.
No injuries were caused in the strike on the Mount Meron base, the IDF says, adding that the incident is under further investigation.
The IDF says it has backup systems to ensure that the air traffic control base continues to operate, saying “there is no damage to the Air Force’s detection capabilities.”
