The Iran-backed Shia militant group Hezbollah says it fired dozens of rockets toward the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights early on Sunday.

The Lebanon-based group said on social media that the attack was launched at 12:35 a.m., local time, targeting Israel's air and missile defense systems.

The group also said it carried out rocket attacks at dawn as well.

Hezbollah did not say if the operation was coordinated with Iran's missile and drone attacks on Israel.
