Hezbollah targets Israel army base near Haifa

Lebanon's Hezbollah group said early Monday it had targeted an Israeli military base near the northern city of Haifa, the third attack on a military position in the area in one day.

Hezbollah fighters launched "a salvo of Fadi 1 rockets at the Carmel base south of Haifa," late Sunday the group said in a statement, having earlier reported two attacks on another base also south of Haifa.

The group dedicated the attack to its leader Hassan Nasrallah, killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburbs last month.

The Israeli army said it detected the launch of 15 mortars, 5 rockets from southern Lebanon towards Carmel in the northern city of Haifa for the 1st time since Oct. 8, 2023.
