Hezbollah fighters struck a base "south of the city of Haifa, targeting the explosives factory there with a salvo of... missiles", the group said in a statement.
Hezbollah has repeatedly announced it has fired rockets at areas in northern Israel, where sirens blared in multiple locations early Saturday.
The group also warned Israelis to stay away from Israeli army sites in residential areas in the north of the country, saying the military "uses the homes" of locals and has military bases in residential neighbourhoods.
"The Israeli enemy army uses the homes" of Israelis in north Israel, and has military bases inside residential "neighbourhoods in major occupied cities such as Haifa, Tiberias, Acre," it said in a statement in Arabic and Hebrew.
After almost a year of cross-border fire, Israel has intensified its strikes on Lebanon since September 23.
The Israeli escalation has killed more than 1,200 people and displaced around a million from their homes.
Diplomatic efforts to negotiate an end to the Israeli escalation have so far failed, but Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said his government would ask the UN Security Council to issue a new resolution calling for a "full and immediate ceasefire".
Leaders from nine European countries around the Mediterranean Sea on Friday also called for an end to fighting in Lebanon, as well as Gaza.
US special envoy Amos Hochstein said the United States was working "non-stop" towards a ceasefire.
"We want the whole conflict to end," he told Lebanese television channel LBC from Washington.
Cross-border rocket fire between Israel and Hezbollah erupted after the Lebanese group began firing on Israel in support of Palestinians suffering under its ongoing war in Gaza, now entering its second year.
The territory's health ministry says more than 42,000 people have been killed since the war began last October, the majority of them women and children.
Hezbollah has repeatedly stated that it would halt attacks as soon as a ceasefire is established in Gaza.
