In an official statement, the Lebanese group says it targeted the headquarters of the Israeli army’s Golan 210th Division in the Nafah barracks, as well as the headquarters of the artillery and armoured regiments of the 210th Division in the Yarden barracks, reports Al Jazeera.
It described the attack as “intense barrages” of rockets and said it was in response to Israel’s overnight strikes on the Bekaa region.
Last night, Israel carried out a series of air strikes on the area in eastern Lebanon – away from the border region. It claimed to target Hezbollah weapons depots.
Videos from the scene showed large fires and secondary explosions following the initial strike. Lebanon’s Health Ministry said nine people were injured – six Lebanese and three Syrians.
For its part, the Israeli army says that it detected the launches of “about 55” rockets in Upper Galilee and the occupied Golan Heights, adding that some were intercepted while the rest fell in open areas without causing casualties.
“Shortly after the launches, air force aircraft attacked one of the launchers from which the launches were made,” the army added.
