Hezbollah claims it struck Israeli military locations near Lebanon’s border
Lebanon-based group says it directly hit Ar-Ramtha, Naqoura sites in northern Israel
BEIRUT
The Lebanese Hezbollah group announced on Saturday that it had targeted two military sites in northern Israel, near the southern border of Lebanon.
In a statement, Hezbollah mentioned that its members “targeted surveillance equipment at Ar-Ramtha site with appropriate weapons, achieving a direct hit.”
The group added, in a separate statement, that its fighters “struck Naqoura naval site with artillery shells,” without providing further details.
There has been no immediate comment from the Israeli military regarding Hezbollah's claims.
The exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Israel along the shared Israeli-Lebanese border has continued in parallel to the Gaza conflict, displacing thousands of people on both sides and fueling concerns of a wider escalation.
