Beirut, September 13 (RHC)-- Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has launched a barrage of missiles at an Israeli air base in retaliation for a deadly attack that hit the Lebanese territories.

Hezbollah said it fired Katyusha rockets at “the main missile air defense base” of the Northern Command at the Berea barracks near the city of Safed in the northern part of the occupied territories in the early hours of Friday.  According to reports, the attack ignited blazes and caused a widespread power outage. 

The Israeli military said that some 20 rockets were launched from Lebanon, claiming that most of them were intercepted.

It has been the second attack to target the Berea barracks, which lies 12 kilometers away from the Lebanese border, since the exchange of fire intensified between the resistance movement and the occupying regime last October.

The Friday strike took place in retaliation for the Israeli “attack and assassination” carried out in Kfar Jouz, according to Hezbollah.  The Lebanese Health Ministry said the "Israeli enemy strike" that hit the village of Kfar Jouz on Thursday, killed "three people, among them a child, and wounded three others."  AFP cited a source close to Hezbollah as saying that one of the dead was "a fighter in Hezbollah."

According to Lebanon's state-run National News Agency, the strike "targeted two motorcycles on the Nabatieh-Kfar Jouz road."  The media outlet added that a passing car was also hit.

Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging fire since early October, shortly after the occupying regime launched its war on Gaza.  The movement has vowed to keep up its retaliatory operations as long as the Tel Aviv regime continues its onslaught on Gaza.

Israel unleashed its genocidal war on Gaza on October 7th after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

The Tel Aviv regime has also imposed a “complete siege” on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.

Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed 41,118 Palestinians and injured nearly 95,125 others.
