Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement claimed Saturday that it struck a vital Israeli military post, firing 62 rockets as a “preliminary response” to the assassination of a Hamas leader in Beirut last week.
The Israeli military announced earlier that about 40 rockets had been fired at the Meron air surveillance base, and responded to the attack by striking Hezbollah bases in southern Lebanon.
The Israeli military admitted yesterday that the Hezbollah strike caused extensive damage to a strategic airbase, according to Israeli media reports.
Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri and his comrades were killed in an Israeli drone strike on the Lebanese capital Beirut.
