BEIRUT: Lebanon’s Iran-backed group Hezbollah said it launched a salvo of rockets at an Israeli air control base today in retaliation for deadly Israeli strikes on east Lebanon.

Hamas ally Hezbollah has exchanged near-daily fire with the Israeli army since the Gaza war erupted in October, but strikes have been largely restricted to the border area.

Hezbollah said it targeted the “Meron air control base … with a large salvo of rockets from several launchers”.

It said the rocket fire was in response to Israel’s first strikes of the war on eastern Lebanon.
