Hezbollah said it launched a salvo of rockets at northern Israel following one of the deadliest strikes on Lebanon since both sides began trading fire more than 10 months ago.

The Saturday barrage on Israel’s Upper Galilee came after the Israel Defense Forces said it struck a Hezbollah weapons storage facility in Nabatieh overnight, along with other Hezbollah structures in south Lebanon. Ten Syrian nationals were killed and five others were injured, including two in critical condition, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
