Hezbollah retaliated against Israeli attacks by targeting a Mossad headquarters in Tel Aviv with a ballistic missile. The Lebanese group claimed responsibility, stating the base was involved in recent strikes on Lebanon. This marked the first time Hezbollah used a ballistic missile against Israel since the conflict escalated in October.
Israeli military intercepted the missile, reaching further distances into central Israel. Tensions have been rising as Israel’s airstrikes on Lebanon have caused a humanitarian crisis, displacing thousands and prompting Hezbollah to threaten attacks on Israel’s economic hubs. Hezbollah hinted at more potent weapons in their arsenal, ready to be used against Israel.
The conflict stems from Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza, with Hezbollah joining the fight against Israeli aggression. Despite mediation efforts, the situation shows no signs of easing, raising fears of a larger regional conflict. The back-and-forth attacks have resulted in significant casualties and destruction, highlighting the volatile situation in the region.
