Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah group said Saturday it has bombed the Israeli Mount Niriya military base with volleys of Katyusha rockets.
In a statement, the party said the attack was in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, and in “retaliation to the Israeli enemy’s aggressions on the resilient (Lebanese) southern villages and safe homes”, the state-run National News Agency reported.
Hezbollah added that the base is a command center occupied by the troops of Golani Brigade- an Israeli infantry brigade.
The border areas between southern Lebanon and Israel have witnessed exchanges of fire between the Israeli army and Hezbollah, since October 8, 2023, following Israel's declaration of war on Gaza.
Hezbollah says its attacks on Israel come in support of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
