Air raid sirens sounded in the Israeli-occupied city of Tel Aviv and its surroundings after the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah launched a barrage of missiles against the occupying entity, amid the regime’s intensified deadly aggression against Lebanon.
Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen news channel reported on Sunday that more than five heavy and long-range missiles were fired toward a military target in Tel Aviv.
According to Hebrew-language media, at least 10 Israelis were injured in Petah Tikva, east of Tel Aviv, as well as Haifa and Nahariya after rockets hit these areas.
Israeli media also reported that explosions were heard in central Tel Aviv due to the landing of rockets fired from Lebanon.
Hezbollah said in a statement that it carried out an operation against a “military target” in Tel Aviv using “a barrage of advanced missiles and a swarm of strike drones.”
The Israeli military said it intercepted around 55 projectiles fired at the northern occupied territories.
In a separate statement, Hezbollah said its fighters had carried out a drone attack on the Ashdod naval base in the southern part of the occupied territories.
The resistance group said that it had launched an aerial attack using a swarm of strike drones on the Ashdod naval base for the first time.
Israel has been targeting Lebanon since October 2023, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah has been responding to the aggression with numerous retaliatory operations, targeting the occupied Palestinian territories.
Since late September, Israel has escalated its strikes against Hezbollah, assassinating its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and a number of its senior figures.
At least 3,600 people have been killed by Israeli fire, and 15,200 others wounded since the clashes began last year, according to the health ministry.
The Lebanese resistance movement has vowed to keep up its operations against Israel as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war, which has so far killed at least 44,176 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
