Several rockets were fired from Lebanon towards several Israeli sites, including the Meron air base and the Israeli northern command headquarters in Safad, Hebrew media reported. A rocket directly hit the northern command site.
“Numerous launches were identified crossing from Lebanon into the areas of Netua, Manara, and into an IDF base in northern Israel,” the Israeli army said in a statement.
“As a result of the launches, an IDF soldier was killed and several other IDF soldiers were injured.” One of the injured was airlifted to a hospital in Haifa due to shrapnel in the skull, The Times of Israel reported.
Hezbollah has yet to announce the attack on its military media page.
Several Israeli media outlets referred to the attack as “unprecedented,” and the largest and most serious since fighting erupted on the Lebanese border in October.
