The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has launched missiles at a significant Israeli air base on Mount Meron for the second time in a month, the group said in a statement today.
They said today’s barrage was in response to “recent assassinations in Lebanon and Syria, and the repeated attacks on civilians and homes” in southern Lebanon.
It is not clear if the missiles caused any damage, but Israel’s Channel 12, citing an Israeli military official, reported 12 missiles were launched toward Mount Meron, of which four were shot down and six landed in open areas.
The station said there was “no impact” on the functioning of the base in northern Israel.
Hezbollah previously struck the air base in retaliation for a presumed Israeli airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburbs on 2 January that killed senior Hamas official Saleh Arouri.
