Hezbollah fires 140 rockets at northern Israel after threatening retaliation | Foreign policy, defense and security news

Hezbollah fired 140 rockets into northern Israel on Friday, a day after the militant group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, vowed retaliation for a massive bombing raid, the Israeli military and the militant group said.

The Israeli military said the rockets struck in three waves on Friday afternoon, targeting targets along the devastated border with Lebanon.

Hezbollah said it had attacked several targets along the border with Katyusha rockets, including several air defense bases and the headquarters of an Israeli tank brigade, which it said was the first time it had been hit.

Hezbollah said the rockets were in retaliation for Israeli attacks on villages and homes in southern Lebanon.
