(Arye Akerman)
Hezbollah fired rockets and drones at the Golan Heights and Upper Galilee on Wednesday after the IDF said it had struck Hezbollah weapons storage facilities in the area of the Lebanese Beqaa Valley some 100 kilometers north of the Israel-Lebanon border, for the second consecutive night.
"Following the strikes, secondary explosions were identified, indicating the presence of large amounts of weapons in the facilities that were struck," the military said. According to the Lebanese NBN channel, one person was killed, and 16 others injured, among them five children.
Residents of communities on the Golan Heights were urged to remain near their shelters and avoid unnecessary travel and large gatherings.
