Hezbollah group said early Monday it had targeted an Israeli military base near the northern city of Haifa, the third attack on a military position in the area in one day.
The Israeli army for its part said its air force was launching extensive strikes across southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah fighters launched "a salvo of Fadi 1 rockets at the Carmel base south of Haifa," late Sunday the group said in a statement, having earlier reported two attacks on another base also south of Haifa. The group dedicated the attack to its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburbs last month.
Rocket sirens and blasts were heard in Haifa and Israel’s military said at least five projectiles were identified coming from Lebanon and "fallen projectiles" were found in the area. The military showed what appeared to be rubble along a street. The Magen David Adom ambulance service said it was treating a teen with shrapnel injuries to the head and a man who fell from a window due to a blast.
The Israeli army on Sunday night announced a new call for residents to evacuate Beirut's southern suburbs, the latest of several appeals since it began heavily bombing the Hezbollah stronghold last month.
"Urgent warning to the residents of the southern suburb of Burj al-Barajneh and Hadath... you are located near Hezbollah facilities and interests, and the IDF (Israeli military) will operate against them in the near future," said military spokesman Avichay Adraee on X, urging residents of the areas to leave.
