Israel Intercepts Hezbollah Missile Near Tel Aviv

A Hezbollah missile intercepted near Israel’s economic centre Tel Aviv is the first fired by the militant group to reach close to the city, the Israeli military said.

Hezbollah said it had targeted the headquarters of Israel’s intelligence service Mossad, which it blames for attacks targeting its members, including the explosions of thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies last week.

Israel and Hezbollah have traded waves of strikes since Israeli attacks targeting the militant group killed more than 500 people on Monday, the deadliest day in Lebanon in more than two decades.
