Hezbollah says launched drone attack on Israeli base in Haifa
Hezbollah said it launched a drone attack Friday on a military base in north Israel's Haifa, a day after deadly strikes in the heart of Beirut and as the group battles Israeli forces on the border.
Hezbollah launched "an air attack with a group of explosive-laden drones" towards the "air defense command base" in Haifa, "responding to" Israeli attacks on "cities and villages and civilians," the group said in a statement.
It had earlier claimed a rocket attack on Israeli troops in Zofolon, north of Haifa.
Al-Arabiya television meanwhile said that 30 rockets were fired at Haifa and the Galilee on Friday morning.
