Air raid sirens sounded in Tel Aviv on Tuesday after Hezbollah said it bombed the Nirit area in the city’s suburbs with missiles.
The Israeli military said about 20 rockets were fired in the latest barrage from Lebanon – five toward central Israel and 15 toward the north, and that attempts were made to intercept them. The IDF said there were no immediate reports of injuries.
Interceptor fragments fell in the northern Israeli town of Ma’agan Michael, causing damage to a building as well as vehicles, Israeli media reported, citing police.
Hezbollah said it targeted the Glilot base of the military intelligence unit 8200 located in the suburbs of Tel Aviv with a missile salvo. It also said it targeted a naval base near Haifa. Hezbollah also said it launched a “salvo of rockets” targeting the “Stella Maris naval base northwest of Haifa”, a coastal city in northern Israel.
