The Lebanese military group Hezbollah claimed responsibility for a barrage of rockets launched from Lebanon towards Mount Meron in northern Israel early Saturday morning. The attack reportedly targeted an Israeli military installation in the area.
The attack was described as an “initial response” to the alleged Israeli killing of Hamas’ deputy chief, Saleh al-Arouri, in Lebanon on Tuesday.
The Mount Meron area in northern Israel was targeted by approximately 40 rockets from Lebanon, according to the Israel Defense Forces as reported by the Times of Israel. In addition, Hezbollah reportedly aimed 62 different types of missiles at an Israeli military installation in the same vicinity.
Israeli media reported explosions near Mount Meron following the sounding of sirens in approximately 90 communities close to the northern border with Lebanon. Videos circulating on social media showed smoke in several areas around Mount Meron. Despite the intensity of the attack, no injuries were reported.
