At 2:30 AM (00:30 GMT) fighters "fired a salvo of rockets at the Glilot base of the 8200 military intelligence unit in the suburbs of Tel Aviv" the Lebanese group said in a statement.

Hezbollah has frequently fired rockets at Israeli bases, and has several times targeted the Israeli army's Glilot base.

It also said it had fired rocket salvos on Saturday morning at areas in the north of Israel, in particular at the city of Safed, another repeat target.

The Israeli military said on Saturday that sirens were activated following the arrival of "suspicious aerial targets" from Lebanon and the targets remained under surveillance in an ongoing incident.

Hezbollah and Israel exchanged cross-border fire for nearly a year after the Israeli war on Gaza began on 7 October 2023. Israel has since sharply escalated its assault on Lebanon and invaded the country last month.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry says more than 2,900 people have been killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon and 13,150 wounded in the country since Oct. 8, 2023.
