Hezbollah fires rocket towards northern Israeli army base
Hezbollah says it struck an Israeli army base with a Burkan rocket earlier today. The Israeli military, however, says the projectile “fell in an open area” near Yiftah, a kibbutz in northern Israel. Israeli forces responded with a retaliatory strike towards the launch site in Lebanon, an Israeli military statement added.
The cross-border attacks follow Hezbollah strikes on five Israeli positions yesterday, including in Kfar Chouba on the eastern side of the border and Jal al-Alam on the western side.
