BEIRUT, May 16, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah group said it launched on Thursday "more than 60" rockets at Israeli military positions in retaliation for overnight air strikes.

Hezbollah fighters "launched a missile attack with more than 60 Katyusha rockets" on several Israeli military positions including in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights, the group said in a statement, adding it was "in response to the Israeli enemy's attacks last night on the Bekaa region" in Lebanon's east.
