In a statement, the military wing confirmed the attack on the main command center of the 769 Eastern Brigade Camp Ghaybur and the airport barracks in Beit Hillel with two rocket salvos, each consisting of 40 Grad rockets.
As Al-Qassam reports, the actions are also part of the Palestinian resistance's retaliation for the assassination of Hamas politburo deputy head Saleh Al-Arouri and several of his companions in the southern suburbs of Beirut on January 2.
In this regard, Israeli media detected strong explosions in the settlement of Kiryat Shmona and the activation of air defense, as well as alarm sounds in Kfar Yuval, Ma'ayan Baruch, Beit Hillel, Kfar Giladi, Al-Mutela and Misgav Am.
At the same time, they commented on the support provided by Israeli army helicopters in evacuating the wounded in the north to hospitals.
Israeli police reported property damage from rockets hitting Kiryat Shmona and urged northern residents to avoid proximity to the sites of the latest bombing, Channel 12 reported in Hebrew.
On January 17, the Al-Qassam Brigades announced the firing of 20 rockets from Lebanese territory toward Israel's Lehman Barracks in the western Galilee region, in an initial response to the attack on Hamas martyrs in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
For its part, the Lebanese Resistance (Hizbullah) carried out two operations to assassinate Al-Arouri, particularly targeting the northern region command headquarters in the city of Safed, the Dado base and the Meron air control facility.
