Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon launched more than 50 rockets at the northern Israeli city of Katzrin in the Golan Heights on Wednesday morning, moderately injuring a man and causing damage to homes.
Meanwhile, the IDF carried out an airstrike on a vehicle in the Mieh Mieh Palestinian refugee camp near the coastal Lebanese city of Sidon, killing a Fatah official, marking the first such attack reported on the Palestinian group in over 10 months of cross-border clashes.
The Hezbollah attack on Katzrin came hours after the Israel Defense Forces carried out a series of airstrikes in Lebanon, while targeting Hezbollah weapon depots deep in the country.
According to the IDF, a barrage of some 50 rockets was launched in the attack on Katzrin, with most of the rockets being intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system.
Several rockets hit the city, causing heavy damage to homes and injuring one person.
Hezbollah took responsibility for the rocket barrage, claiming in a statement that it had targeted a nearby military base. The army rejected this, saying the group had intended to hit the town.
The terror group said it launched several volleys of Katyusha rockets at the base in the Golan Heights in response to an IDF strike deep in eastern Lebanon overnight.
Khalil is the brother of senior Fatah official Munir Makdah, who has been accused by Israel for years of working with Hezbollah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to advance attacks on Israel.
In a joint statement, the IDF and Shin Bet said that the Makdah brothers have been working out of Lebanon with the IRGC to transfer money and weapons to terror cells in the West Bank.
The military published footage of the airstrike.
