Hezbollah stated it fired rockets on the northern Israeli city of Safed on Wednesday, the third such assault in 24 hours which the Lebanese armed group described as a response to Israeli raids.

Militants from the Iran-backed group focused “at 6:50 pm (1550 GMT)… the occupied city of Safed with a salvo of rockets” in “defence of Lebanon and its folks,” Hezbollah stated in a press release.
