“In response to enemy aggression against the Beqa region, Islamic Resistance fighters attacked the headquarters of the 210th Golani Brigade at the Nafah base on Monday with dozens of Katyusha rockets, the group said in a statement.”
The targets are located in the Golan Heights, which the Jewish state captured from Syria during the Six-Day War in 1967 and where Hezbollah attacks are considered more strategically important than in other areas of Israeli territory.
According to the National News Agency (ANN), the launch at the Nafah base is in response to an Israeli bombing that hit a plant in the Lebanese town of Sefri this morning, injuring three civilians and destroying the targeted building.

The Bekaa Valley is an important Hezbollah stronghold and has been repeatedly bombed by Israel in recent months, although crossfire between the sides remains concentrated mainly in areas near the de facto border between the two countries.

The clashes, which began last October in the context of the Gaza war, are the most serious between the Lebanese militia and the Jewish state since the conflict they fought in 2006.
