Hezbollah says it launches attack on Israel after top commander's killing

CAIRO (Reuters) - Iranian-backed Hezbollah on Sunday said it had began an attack on Israel with a large number of drones and rockets in response for the killing of its top commander in a Beirut suburb last month.

The Lebanon-based group said it targeted an identified "special military target as well as Israel's Iron Dome platforms and other sites but that the full response would take "some time".
