Iran Press/ West Asia: The base, located in the northern occupied territories, serves as the sole center for administration, surveillance, and air control in the area.
Hezbollah described the operation on Saturday as a "preliminary response" to the Israeli assassination of "great leader Sheikh Saleh al-Arouri and his martyr brothers" in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh.
The Israeli military reported around 40 rocket launches from Lebanese territory on the morning of the attack.
Air raid sirens sounded in towns and cities across northern Israel, later also blaring in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had warned Israel that the movement would respond swiftly "on the battlefield" to Arouri's assassination in a speech on Friday.
The attack was followed by nearly three months of cross-border fire already resulting in 175 deaths in Lebanon and at least 13 Israelis killed in the north, according to Israeli authorities.
Nasrallah, however, said Israel is lying about its true number of casualties.
