Lebanese militant group Hezbollah said it targeted the Israeli army's northern command center Tuesday in response to "recent assassinations and repeated attacks on civilians" in Lebanon and Syria.
It said it had launched a "large number" of missiles at the Mount Meron base in its second such attack since Palestinian militant group Hamas's unprecedented Oct. 7 assault on Israel sparked war in Gaza.
Its first on Jan. 6 came in response to the killing of Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri in a strike in Beirut widely blamed on Israel.
