Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has said it launched rockets at an Israeli intelligence base near Tel Aviv earlier today, AFP reports.

At 2:30am (12:30am GMT) fighters “fired a salvo of rockets at the Glilot base of the 8200 military intelligence unit in the suburbs of Tel Aviv” the group said in a statement.

It also said it had fired rocket salvos this morning at areas in the north of Israel, in particular at the city of Safed, another repeat target.

The Israeli military said that sirens were activated following the arrival of “suspicious aerial targets” from Lebanon and the targets remained under surveillance in an ongoing incident.
