(Israel Defense Forces) Early Sunday morning, several Katyusha rockets launched from Lebanese territory hit an IDF base in northern Israel, lightly wounding a soldier and causing damage to the base. In response to this attack, the IDF carried out an aerial attack on two command posts used by terror organizations in Lebanon, one of which was used as a storage facility for weaponry and ammunition. In the afternoon, Hizballah launched a large-scale attack on communities and military posts along the border with Lebanon with sniper fire and machine gun fire, and launched Katyusha rockets and mortar shells at Israeli targets. An IDF soldier was severely wounded in Kibbutz Manara. In response to this severe, unprovoked attack on Israel, the IDF returned fire on Hizballah targets along the Lebanese border.
