Hezbollah fires rocket barrage at Israel, causes slight damage to key IDF base

The Hezbollah terror group on Tuesday caused slight damage to a sensitive Israel Defense Forces air traffic control base in northern Israel with a barrage of rockets and missiles.

The Iran-backed Lebanese terror group said the attacks were in response to “recent assassinations and repeated attacks on civilians” in Lebanon and Syria.

It said it had launched a “large number” of missiles at the Mount Meron base, in its second such attack in recent weeks.

The IDF confirmed the attack, saying slight damage was caused to the base’s infrastructure.

According to the IDF, several of the projectiles fired by Hezbollah were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system, but some struck the base, which is located some eight kilometers (5 miles) from the Lebanon border. READ MORE
