Hezbollah said it fired on Monday a barrage of advanced rockets towards a naval base in the area of Haifa, a northern Israeli city.

The resistance group said the rocket attacks were in response to the Israeli strike on the Lebanese city of Tyre in which seven people were killed.

An "Israeli enemy strike this morning on a building" in the centre of Tyre killed "seven people and wounded 17 others", a health ministry statement said.

The Israeli military said Hezbollah launched around 150 projectiles into Israel on Monday.
