The Resistance group said it targeted the Kiryat Shmona settlement with a barrage of rockets, resulting in fires according to Israeli media. Firefighting teams were dispatched to the area in an attempt to extinguish the fires.

Hezbollah also struck the Meggido military airbase west of Afula - north of Jenin - three times throughout the early hours of the day with salvos of Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 rockets.

Additionally, in a strategic operation, the Resistance announced targeting with Fadi rockets the Israeli base, which is the Israeli occupation army's main transport and logistical support base for the northern region.

Furthermore, the group targeted the logistical warehouses of the Israeli 146th Brigade at the Naftali base. A northern correspondent for the Israeli i24NEWS confirmed that Hezbollah had hit "a very large weapons depot and a logistical center belonging to the [Israeli] army," noting ongoing efforts to extinguish the fires around the targeted site.

even if they don’t falsely report they can omit information

That's why you always read the reports from all perspectives to fill in the gaps. You literally discount the "our freedom fighters" vs. "Their terrorists" speak yourself, instead of your convenient solution of appealing to mbfc (appeal to authority)

In these cases it’s better as a rule to compare the reporting with that of other sources.

It would be great if you actually lived by your own words and engaged with the topic at hand and not lazily cite mbfc.

I literally did that by asking if there's another source. I only cited MBFC because they did fact checks of the site (with a healthy dose of bias, admittedly). I wasn't trying to cite the reliability or bias ratings because I know they're basically arbitrary.
