Hezbollah on Saturday asserted a rocket assault on northern Israel, the very first after massive Israeli strikes struck Beirut's southern areas over night. "Defending Lebanon as well as its own people, and also replying to the barbaric" Israeli assaults "on urban areas and communities and also private citizens", Hezbollah fighters targeted kibbutz Kabri in northern Israel "with a salvo of Fadi-1 rockets", the group said in a statement. lg/jsa.
