Israeli soldiers have been targeted with a rocket salvo in the Kafr Giladi settlement in northern Israel, the Lebanese armed group said on Thursday.

Hezbollah also said to have struck the military site and the settlement in Metula with 100 Katyusha rockets and six Falaq rockets.

The group’s fighters also hit the city of Safad with a salvo of rockets, the group’s statement said.

Hezbollah also said an Israeli infantry force has “attempted to infiltrate towards the cemetery of the town of Yaroun” in southern Lebanon when its fighters detonated a Sejjil bomb at the advancing force. It said the attack caused casualties.

Hezbollah also said its guided missile hit a Merkava tank in the northern Israeli settlement of Netua, and a rocket salvo targeted Israeli soldiers in the al-Thaghra area on the outskirts of the town of Odaisseh on the Lebanese-Palestinian border.

Later, the group said it had targeted the Israeli Sakhnin military base in the Haifa Bay, formerly Bay of Acre, with a missile salvo.

Also, Hezbollah said four explosive devices were detonated by its fighters since dawn against the Israeli troops infiltrating the towns of Maroun al-Ras and Yaroun, “inflicting heavy losses on the enemy forces”.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq also claimed responsibility for an attack on southern Israel in a statement.
