Israel’s military said on Friday that Hezbollah launched a missile ​at Israel, triggering air raid sirens in parts ‌of the country, including in Tel Aviv.

The missile was intercepted, according to the Times of Israel.

Hezbollah said it targeted ​Israeli military infrastructure in the northern city of ​Haifa in the late hours of Thursday.

It ⁠was not immediately clear if the Iran-backed armed ​group was referring to the same attack.

The Israeli ​military said it had struck about 10 Hezbollah launchers that fired rockets toward northern Israel in the evening.

The latest tit-for-tat attacks ​come after Israel’s heaviest bombardment of Lebanon in ​the war killed more than 300 people on Wednesday, and ahead ‌of ⁠scheduled Iran–US talks in Pakistan following their agreement to a two-week ceasefire.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday he has instructed Israel to begin peace talks ​with Lebanon that ​would include ⁠disarming Hezbollah.

Israel launched a renewed offensive against Hezbollah after the group began firing ​at Israel on March 2.

Israeli strikes ​have killed ⁠around 1,900 people and uprooted more than 1 million people, according to Lebanese authorities.

At least 400 Hezbollah fighters ⁠have ​been killed, according to sources ​familiar with the group, which has fired hundreds of rockets and drones ​at Israel.
