Fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement have launched heavy rocket barrages at an Israeli kibbutzim in the northern sector of the 1948 occupied territories in response to an air raid that killed three civilians in southern Lebanon, Press TV reported.
Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network reported that resistance fighters fired dozens of Katyusha-type rockets at Kfar Blum kibbutz in the Upper Galilee region on Tuesday evening.
It said the rocket fire was in retaliation for a deadly Israeli attack on a house in the southern Lebanese town of Houla, which killed all members of a three-strong family.
A Hezbollah rocket struck the yard of a home in Kfar Blum, causing damage, local Israeli authorities said.
A municipality spokeswoman said, 'It is a very heavy barrage."
Earlier, Hezbollah had fired a large barrage of rockets at the northern Israeli city of Kiryat Shemona.
Hezbollah also targeted the Avivim moshav, located less than one kilometer from the Blue Line with Lebanon, with a salvo of rockets “in response to Israeli attacks on villages and civilian homes in southern Lebanon.’
