Hezbollah said it has targeted an Israeli naval base, a day after a drone strike killed four soldiers in the deadliest attack on Israel since the conflict in Lebanon began, AFP reports.

The group said its fighters have launched rockets at a naval base near Haifa in northern Israel, calling it a tribute to its leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

Earlier, the Israeli military had confirmed it had intercepted another launch aimed at a training camp at Binyamina, also near Haifa, a day after four soldiers were killed and dozens more wounded in a Hezbollah drone strike.
