Hezbollah said it fired “dozens of rockets” last night at the Israeli air base at Ramat David, about 50 kilometers from the border with Lebanon. That was in retaliation for “Israel’s repeated attacks on Lebanon and the death of many martyrs,” Hezbollah said on Telegram.

According to the Iranian-backed militant group, new rockets of the Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 types, with a range of 80 and 105 kilometers, were used in the attack.

The Israeli army reports on X that they have seen about ten to fifteen rockets in the Jezreel Valley, where the air base is located. Most of them would have been intercepted, one bullet would have ended up in the valley.

Israel was reportedly slightly injured when shrapnel hit him from the sky. Today, schools in northern Israel will remain closed, it was announced last night.
