Hezbollah claims attack on Israel’s Dafna settlement
Lebanon’s Hezbollah armed group claims its fighters have for the first time attacked northern Israel’s Dafna settlement near Kiryat Shmona with dozens of Katyusha rockets.
The group did not elaborate on the results of the attack but it said in a statement on Telegram that the bombing came in response to the Israeli attack on civilians in the Lebanese town of Burj al-Muluk.
According to Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency, a drone targeted an empty SUV on the outskirts of Burj al-Muluk in the Nabatieh governorate.
The rocket shrapnel injured several Syrians, including children, near the tent they were living in.
