Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah said it targeted a command base in Israel Tuesday in retaliation for the killings of one of its commanders in Lebanon and the Hamas deputy leader.

The movement said it targeted the "enemy's northern command center" in the city of Safed with several drones" as part of its response to the killing of Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri on Jan. 2 and Hezbollah field commander Wissam Tawil on Monday.

"No injuries or damage were reported," it added.
