Israeli army says warning sirens sound in Tel Aviv after missile fired from Lebanon
The Israeli army says, on X, that it has intercepted a surface-to-surface missile fired from Lebanon after warning sirens sounded in Tel Aviv, as well as to the north of the Israeli city.
Hezbollah says it launched missile towards Mossad in Tel Aviv
Now, Hezbollah is saying the group fired a ballistic missile targeting Mossad headquarters near Tel Aviv, stating that the intelligence agency is responsible for assassinating leaders and blowing up pagers and walkie-talkies in attacks in Lebanon in recent weeks.
Hezbollah sends ‘message’ by targeting Mossad headquarters with longer-range missile
There is no de-escalation. There is no diplomacy. Just Hezbollah and the Israeli army attacking each other.
For the first time since October 8, when hostilities broke out between Israel and Hezbollah, Hezbollah has used one of their longer-range missiles. It’s a missile, not a rocket. A surface-to-surface missile.
Hezbollah says they launched it from their territory against the Mossad headquarters just outside Tel Aviv. That’s the furthest they’ve struck at so far and it was in direct revenge for the walkie-talkie and pager attacks we saw last week.
Now it’s only one missile, so it’s more than likely to be a message from Hezbollah that they still have ballistic missile capability. The Israeli army says that their missile defence system actually intercepted it.
The fear for the Israelis is that the missile defence system simply gets overwhelmed. They have to shoot up a missile to shoot down a missile. So if you send more than what the actual defence system can handle, then some of those missiles will land in Tel Aviv.
That map was from before the current escalation, add 569 more deaths to the Lebanese deaths, over 1,320
