Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has launched a barrage of retaliatory rockets at an Israeli military barracks in the northern part of the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories in response to a deadly air strike against an emergency center in southern Lebanon.

Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Manar television channel, citing a brief Hezbollah statement, reported that the group struck the outpost inside Kiryat Shmona city, close to the border with Lebanon, on Wednesday morning with dozens of projectiles, Press TV reported.

The reprisal attack came after seven medical staff were killed in an Israeli air strike on an emergency center in Habbariyeh in southern Lebanon.

Israeli media outlets, meanwhile, reported that a 25-year-old man has been declared dead after being pulled out of a building struck by a Hezbollah rocket in Kiryat Shmona’s industrial zone.

The man, who is not a Kiryat Shmona resident, had no vital signs when he was pulled out of the industrial structure by rescue workers, the Israeli Magen David Adom ambulance service said.

Another man was rescued unharmed from the damaged building.

According to the Israeli military, a barrage of at least 30 rockets were fired from Lebanon at the northern city of Kiryat Shmona.
