Iran-aligned Lebanon-basedmilitant group Hezbollah said on Saturday (Nov 2) that it launched rockets at an Israeli intelligence base near Tel Aviv. Citing a statement from Hezbollah, the news agency AFP reported that the rockets were fired at 2:30 am (local time)towards the Glilot base of the 8200 military intelligence unit in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
Fighting has escalated dramatically in recent weeks between Israeli forces and the Hezbollahgroup and hopes that a USpush for a ceasefire have faded in recent days.
Hezbollah frequently claims to have fired rockets at Israeli bases or urban areas in Israeli territory and has several times claimed the targeting of Glilot.
