Lebanon’s Hezbollah announced on Saturday that it had fired 62 rockets targeting the Israeli air traffic control base Meron as part of a preliminary response to the assassination of Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut’s southern suburbs.
The attack is the largest rocket barrage since the exchange of fire and escalation between Hezbollah and the IDF began on Oct. 7.
The party stressed that the missile strikes caused direct hits at the Israeli military base of Meron, noting the importance of this base as a major center for management, surveillance, and air control in northern Israel.
In a related context, correspondents reported that 32 rockets were fired from southern Lebanon towards Israeli areas in the Upper Galilee, while 6 Kornet guided missiles were fired towards Israeli positions off the southern border of Lebanon.
Media sources indicated that a rocket from southern Lebanon targeted an Israeli military site in the settlement of Metulla, while rockets and other shells landed in Jabal al-Jarmaq in the Upper Galilee in northern Israel, in conjunction with the Israeli army’s artillery strikes on the vicinity of several towns in southern Lebanon.
