Hezbollah said Wednesday it had fired a ballistic missile targeting Israeli spy agency Mossad’s headquarters near Tel Aviv, saying that recent attacks on the militant group had been planned there.
It is the first time the group has claimed a ballistic missile strike since its nearly year-long battle with Israel began after Hamas carried out its October 7 attack.
Earlier Wednesday, Israel’s military had said it intercepted a missile fired from Lebanon after sirens sounded in Tel Aviv.
“The Islamic Resistance launched a ‘Qader 1’ ballistic missile at 6.30am on Wednesday, 25-9-2024, targeting the Mossad headquarters in the outskirts of Tel Aviv,” Hezbollah said in a statement.
