Lebanon’s Hezbollah says it has carried out a series of attacks on Israeli forces and sites in northern Israel and along the border with southern Lebanon, according to Al Jazeera.

In a statement released by its military media wing, the group said it detonated an explosive device targeting Israeli forces near the town of Shamaa in southern Lebanon, and later fired on what it described as a rescue force arriving at the scene.

Hezbollah also said it launched rocket attacks targeting Israeli positions and gatherings of troops near the town of Ainata, as well as fired rockets towards the northern Israeli towns of Nahariya and Metula.

In a separate statement, the group said it targeted the Meron air operations command and control base in northern Israel with a barrage of rockets. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military on the claims.
