Hezbollah says fired missiles at base near south Israel's Ashdod

Hezbollah claimed a series of attacks on Israeli troops in south Lebanon and on military facilities across the border including a drone attack on the Haifa naval base, which it has repeatedly claimed strikes against.

The group also said its fighters "targeted... for the first time, the Hatzor air base" near the southern city of Ashdod, around 150 kilometers from Lebanon's southern border with Israel, "with a missile salvo".

Israeli first responders said a man was killed on Thursday after rocket fire from Lebanon hit the Galilee region in Israel's north.

"Emergency medical technicians and paramedics have reported a 30-year-old male with no signs of life and have declared him deceased," the Magen David Adom emergency medical service said.

The Israeli military said Wednesday that three soldiers, including a 70-year-old, were killed in south Lebanon, bringing to 52 the number killed in Lebanon since the start of ground operations.
