Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets at Israel’s Meron air control base on 27 February in retaliation for Monday’s aggression by Tel Aviv on the northern city of Baalbek.
Hezbollah’s Military Media Center released a statement saying: “The Islamic Resistance fighters targeted, at 8:00 am on Tuesday, the Meron air control base on Mount al-Jarmaq with a large missile barrage from multiple launchers,” referring to Mount Meron by its Arabic name.

“Dozens of rockets have been fired from Lebanon at the Upper Galilee,” the Israeli army confirmed in a statement. Airstrikes were reported in southern Lebanon later on Tuesday.
Southern Lebanon Stands With Resistance Despite Israeli Terrorism
Israel struck alleged Hezbollah targets near the city of Baalbek on Monday after the Lebanese resistance downed a $2 million Hermes drone over south Lebanon with a surface-to-air missile. The Israeli attack near the UNESCO World Heritage Site killed at least two people.
Hours later, Hezbollah fired 60 rockets at an Israeli base in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

Crossfire continues to rage on the southern Lebanese border. As Hezbollah launches daily operations against Israeli military sites, Tel Aviv responds with violent and indiscriminate attacks on homes and civilians.
Israeli attacks in Lebanon have killed at least 284 people since the start of the conflict on 8 October. The toll includes civilians, journalists, and resistance fighters from Hezbollah and the Amal Movement.
