Heavy Israeli strikes rock southern Lebanon as Hezbollah rockets hit Haifa

Israel carried out on Saturday and into Sunday some of the heaviest air strikes in southern Lebanon since hostilities with Hezbollah began nearly a year ago.

The Lebanese group meanwhile fired nearly 100 rockets towards northern Israel, including Haifa and other targets some 50km from the Lebanon boundary.

The Israeli military said it had struck dozens of Hezbollah “targets” in its large-scale air attack. There were no immediate reports of injuries. 

Meanwhile, Hezbollah said it had targeted the Ramat David military airbase and the Rafael arms manufacturer in its rocket attack. 

At least three people were wounded in the attack, according to Israeli media, with videos posted online showing damage caused by the rockets in several locations.
