Hezbollah targets Safad and Israeli base near Haifa

Hezbollah said Thursday it targeted an Israeli military base near Haifa, the second time within 24 hours it has said it targeted the facility.

Hezbollah fighters "bombed" the "defense industry" base "north of the city of Haifa with a salvo of rockets," a statement said, after claiming an attack Wednesday on the same site.

Hezbollah also said that it launched a "large rocket salvo" at the northern Israeli town of Safad on Thursday.

Hezbollah fighters bombed "the town of Safad... with a large rocket salvo," the group said in a statement, adding the launch came "in response to Israeli enemy attacks" on Lebanon.
