The Israeli military reported on Monday that sirens sounded in central Israel after detecting five projectiles launched from Lebanon into Israeli territory. Some of the projectiles were intercepted, while others landed in open areas, causing no reported casualties. Despite the attacks, the Israeli Home Front Command stated that no changes had been made to public safety guidelines.
Shortly after, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the missile launches, issuing a statement that their operation specifically targeted Israel’s military intelligence unit 8200, located at the Glilot base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv. The missile strike marks an escalation in the cross-border hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, which has been intensifying alongside Israel’s ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
The attack from Hezbollah adds another layer of complexity to Israel’s security challenges, as tensions rise on multiple fronts in the region. Israeli forces remain on high alert, with fears of further escalations in the north as Hezbollah, backed by Iran, increases its involvement in the broader conflict.
This latest assault reflects the growing scope of regional hostilities, with Hezbollah signaling its readiness to engage directly in military confrontations against Israel.
