Hezbollah says targeted Israel base near Safed with dozens of rockets

Hezbollah said Tuesday that it targeted a military base in north Israel near Safed twice with salvos of rockets, as Israel pounded Lebanon with air strikes, saying it was targeting the Iran-backed group.

"In defense of Lebanon and its people", Hezbollah targeted "the Dado base" near north Israel's Safed -- the headquarters of the Israeli military's northern command -- with a total of 90 rockets, the Iran-backed group said in two separate statements.
