Over Shabbos, Hezbollah fired Burkan rockets, hitting the Gibor military base in Kiryat Shmona in a direct hit.
In the afternoon, two rockets were found in the city, one on a military base and the other in a supermarket, which was closed.
The rockets damaged the base, along with vehicles and structures in the city. In addition, several fires broke out in the area, and firefighters were called to the scene.
The Burkan rockets are not very precise, but they are capale of carrying up to half a ton of explosive material. The rockets were developed with Iranian guidance, at the start of the Syrian Civil War in the previous decade, to aid Assad’s forces. Once operational, they were diverted for use against Israel, primarily from hidden launchers operated remotely.
