Hezbollah said its fighters on Thursday fired missiles at a military base near south Israel’s Ashdod, the first time it has targeted so deep inside Israel in more than a year of hostilities.
Hezbollah fighters "targeted... for the first time, the Hatzor air base" east of the southern city, around 150 kilometers (90 miles) from Lebanon’s southern border with Israel, "with a missile salvo," the Iran-backed group said in a statement.
