Hezbollah said in a statement that its militants fired tens of rockets” Thursday afternoon at two Israeli military bases in Syria’s Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The statement said one of the bases housed Israeli artillery and the other stored armored vehicles.
The group also said it had foiled three attempts by Israeli troops to press deeper into Lebanon, and that its guerrillas destroyed two enemy tanks.
