An air control base was hit by anti-tank missiles from Hezbollah, one of the terrorist groups that continues to threaten Israel, reports The Jerusalem Post:

The IDF confirmed there two Hezbollah missiles hit the Israel Air Force’s Air Control Unit base near Mount Meron on Friday morning, following sirens in the area.

Alarms were activated in the Upper Galilee area and Meron on Friday morning, and Lebanese media later reported a direct hit to the base, which Hezbollah later claimed responsibility for.

Army Radio reported that anti-tank missiles hit the air control base but that the base’s functional capacity and detection system continued to work.
