Lebanese group Hezbollah yesterday announced that it had fired a missile at Tel Aviv for the first time, targeting the headquarters of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.

The Israeli media, including the Times of Israel news website, quoted a military statement that claimed the Hezbollah missile was intercepted by the army’s David’s Sling defence system, a medium- to long-range interceptor, as it approached its target in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
Sirens could be heard in Tel Aviv and other towns in central Israel.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation army announced that it struck a Hezbollah launcher in southern Lebanon, claiming the site was used for firing the missile towards Tel Aviv.
The Israeli army has launched waves of air strikes on Lebanon since early Monday killing nearly 560 people, including 95 women and 50 children, and injuring 1,835 others, according to Lebanese Health Minister Firas Abiad.
