Hezbollah has claimed it fired a rocket at the Mossad spy agency headquarters near Tel Aviv. This comes as Israel announced that it has successfully intercepted a missile launched by Hezbollah aimed at Tel Aviv.

Fortunately, there were no reports of damage or casualties, and civil defense instructions remained unchanged.

It triggered warning sirens in Tel Aviv and other central locations, including Netanya.

Mossad spy agency headquarters near Tel Aviv was responsible for the assassination of Hezbollah leaders and the destruction of its communication devices.

It is reported that it is the first time the Lebanese group targeted Tel Aviv with a missile.

In recent days, Hezbollah has launched hundreds of missiles and rockets at Israel, intensifying the ongoing conflict along the Lebanese border.

The UN Security Council said it would meet on Wednesday to discuss the conflict.

“Lebanon is at the brink. The people of Lebanon – the people of Israel – and the people of the world - cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.

In response, the Israeli military has conducted its most extensive airstrikes of the conflict this week, targeting Hezbollah leaders and numerous sites across Lebanon.

On Tuesday, an airstrike in Beirut resulted in the death of senior Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Qubaisi, who led the group’s missile forces. Qubaisi’s death adds to a growing list of key figures assassinated since fighting escalated nearly a year ago alongside the Gaza conflict.

Since the start of Israel’s recent offensive on Monday, 569 people, including 50 children, have been reported killed in Lebanon, with 1,835 others wounded, according to Health Minister Firass Abiad.
