Hezbollah says it fired rockets at the intelligence base near Tel Aviv

The Israeli military said the sirens were activated after the arrival of “suspicious aerial targets”.

Beirut:

Lebanon’s Hezbollah said on Saturday it fired missiles at an Israeli intelligence base near Tel Aviv in the early hours of Saturday.

At 2:30 AM (00:30 GMT) Hezbollah “fired a volley of rockets at the Glilot base of military intelligence unit 8200 in the suburbs of Tel Aviv,” the Iran-backed group said in a statement.

Hezbollah and Israel exchanged cross-border fire for nearly a year after Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack on Israel sparked the Gaza war, before Israel escalated the conflict on September 23.

The group frequently claims to have fired rockets at Israeli bases or urban areas in Israeli territory, and has repeatedly claimed to be targeting Glilot.

It also said it fired salvos of rockets early Saturday into areas of northern Israel, particularly the city of Safed, another repeated target.

The Israeli military said on Saturday that sirens were activated after the arrival of “suspicious aerial targets” from Lebanon, and the targets remained under surveillance in an ongoing incident.
