JERUSALEM/BEIRUT (Reuters) -Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel's third-largest city Haifa and Israel looked poised to expand its offensive into Lebanon on Monday, one year after the devastating Hamas attack on Israel that sparked the Gaza war.

Israel’s military responded with airstrikes on Hezbollah’s Intelligence Headquarters in Beirut, targeting intelligence-gathering means, command centres, and other infrastructure. The strikes also hit Hezbollah weapons storage in the Beirut area, leading to secondary explosions that suggested the presence of weaponry.

The northern Israeli port city of Haifa was hit by about five rockets fired by the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah late on Sunday, causing damage and injuring eight people, Israeli authorities say. A spokesman for Haifa's municipality said it was the first time the city had been targeted since the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.
