this was hezbollah's largest long-range missile attack on israel since the start of the war in october, and idf warplanes carried out a series of strikes in southern lebanon during the afternoon and evening.

israel's largest air force base, ramat david, came under attack, and alarms were sounded in haifa, nazareth, afula and migdal hemek.

the video showed air defenses in action, but many of the missiles may have already hit their targets.

according to israeli media kan, a rocket landed in nazareth and fires were caused by the attack elsewhere in the city. the israeli ministry of defense reported that there were no casualties in the attack.

social media and hezbollah reports said explosions could be heard around the ramat david air base near haifa.

al hadath, a lebanese media outlet affiliated with hezbollah, reported that hezbollah fired 100 rockets at haifa and the upper galilee region, but the idf claimed only 10. ​

according to israeli medics, a man in his 60s was hit by shrapnel after the interception and suffered very minor injuries.

hezbollah claimed responsibility for the missile attack, saying it targeted the israeli air force's ramat david air base, about 50 kilometers from the lebanese border.

early on saturday, the idf carried out a wave of airstrikes, including rocket fire, against about 110 hezbollah targets in lebanon.

at night, israel once again launched a large-scale air strike on lebanon, and a video of the moment a 4,000-kilogram aerial bomb exploded was posted on the internet.

idf spokesman rear admiral daniel hagari said at a news conference saturday evening that the idf struck more than 400 hezbollah rocket launchers that day.
