Rocket Attacks Target Tel Aviv; Hezbollah Claims Responsibility
Editor: London News

Widespread alarms sounded around Tel Aviv as rocket fire from Lebanon struck various locations. Hezbollah announced it had targeted a critical Israeli intelligence facility, escalating tensions in the region.

A series of rocket alarms were triggered across the Tel Aviv area as Israeli officials confirmed that multiple rockets, fired from Lebanon, hit different parts of the city. The Israeli regime reported that the strikes caused significant concern among the local population and heightened security measures were put in place.

Hezbollah’s Response

In a written statement, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that it had specifically targeted the Glilot military base. The base, located near Tel Aviv, is known for housing Israeli intelligence operations, including the notorious Unit 8200, a key cyber intelligence division, and the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency.

Hezbollah framed the attack as an act of solidarity with the Palestinian resistance in Gaza and a defensive measure in response to Israeli military actions in Lebanon. The group revealed that it had used a newly developed missile from its arsenal, named "Fadi-4," to carry out the strike. Hezbollah emphasized that this attack was intended to protect Lebanese territory and people from ongoing Israeli aggression.

Growing Regional Tensions

The exchange of fire marks a significant escalation in an already volatile situation between Israel and Hezbollah. Recent Israeli military operations in both Gaza and Lebanon have drawn sharp criticism from Hezbollah, with the group increasingly aligning itself with Palestinian resistance movements. As the conflict continues to unfold, there are growing concerns over the potential for further escalation, particularly along the Israeli-Lebanese border.

Israeli authorities have yet to comment in detail on the extent of the damage or the potential casualties resulting from the rocket strikes. However, the incident has undoubtedly raised tensions and drawn international attention to the evolving conflict in the region.

With Hezbollah's increasing involvement and its use of more advanced weaponry, the likelihood of a broader military confrontation between the two sides seems increasingly possible. The situation remains tense as both sides brace for possible retaliatory measures.
