BEIRUT: Hezbollah said on Thursday that it targeted Israel’s air defense systems near the town of Caesarea in the country’s center, home to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence.

In a statement, the Iran-backed group said that “in response to the criminal Israeli aggression that struck dozens of Lebanese cities and towns, including Beirut’s southern suburbs,” it targeted the air defense system near Caesarea with “a salvo of advanced missiles.”
