BEIRUT: Lebanese militant group Hezbollah said it targeted the Israeli army鈥檚 northern command center Tuesday in response to 鈥渞ecent assassinations and repeated attacks on civilians鈥� in Lebanon and Syria.
It said it had launched a 鈥渓arge number鈥� of missiles at the Mount Meron base in its second such attack since Palestinian militant group Hamas鈥檚 unprecedented October 7 assault on Israel sparked war in Gaza.
Its first on January 6 came in response to killing of Hamas deputy leader Saleh Al-Aruri in a strike in Beirut widely blamed on Israel.
