Hezbollah launched a ballistic missile at Tel Aviv early Wednesday, escalating tensions in the region after Israel carried out strikes on Lebanon. The Israeli military intercepted the missile, which set off air raid sirens but caused no casualties or damage.
Israel i Iron Dome air defense system fires to intercept rockets that were launched from Lebanon , in northern Israel , on Tuesday.
Hezbollah said it fired a Qader 1 ballistic missile targeting the headquarters of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, which it blames for a recent string of targeted killings of its top commanders and for an attack last week in which bombs hidden in pagers and walkie-talkies killed dozens of people and wounded thousands, including many Hezbollah members.The Israeli military said it was the first time a projectile fired from Lebanon had reached central Israel.
Israel said late Tuesday that fighter jets carried out"extensive strikes" on Hezbollah weapons and rocket launchers across southern Lebanon and in the Bekaa region to the north. The military has said it has no immediate plans for a ground invasion but has declined to give a timetable for the air campaign.
Israel has moved thousands of troops who had been serving in Gaza to the northern border. It says Hezbollah has some 150,000 rockets and missiles, including some capable of striking anywhere in Israel, and that the group has fired some 9,000 rockets and drones since last October. It was the latest in a string of assassinations and other setbacks for Hezbollah, which is Lebanon's strongest political and military actor and is widely considered the top paramilitary force in the Arab world.
