Fires broke out in the northern Israeli city of Safed on Tuesday after Hezbollah targeted the Dado base - the IDF's Northern Command headquarters - according to a statement by the Lebanese group.

The Israeli army confirmed that the area had been hit by dozens of rockets. Footage shows fires burning and fire engines on the road.

The IDF announced 'Operation Northern Arrows' on Monday, targeting Hezbollah locations with airstrikes and urging civilians to evacuate southern villages and the Bakaa region.

According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, 558 people have been killed and 1,835 injured. Israeli media outlets reported that Hezbollah had fired more than 100 rockets towards northern Israel since Tuesday morning.

Tensions in southern Lebanon have escalated over the past week, following mass pager and handheld radio explosions, which Hezbollah blamed on Israel. The IDF did not comment.

Hezbollah and Israeli forces have been exchanging cross border fire since the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza in October 2023.
