A missile fired from Lebanon was intercepted near Israel\u2019s economic center Tel Aviv on Wednesday, Israel\u2019s military said, in a rare attack far from the front lines of the conflict with Hezbollah. <\/p>\n
\u201cFollowing the sirens that sounded in the Tel Aviv and Netanya areas, one surface-to-surface missile was identified crossing from Lebanon and was intercepted by the IDF Aerial Defense Array,\u201d the Israeli military said. <\/p>\n
There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties. <\/p>\n
Since the outbreak of conflict between Israel and Hamas last October, Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah has fired hundreds of rockets and drones from Lebanon targeting northern Israel. <\/p>\n
The missile intercept comes days after Israeli strikes targeting the militant group killed more than 500 people across Lebanon. Monday was the deadliest day in Lebanon in nearly two decades. <\/p>\n
Hezbollah has not yet commented on the attempted attack on Tel Aviv. <\/p>\n
Flights at Tel Aviv\u2019s Ben Gurion airport continued as usual, the airport\u2019s spokesperson said. <\/p>\n
Sirens were heard Wednesday in the central city of Netanya for the first time since October 7, 2023, according to Israeli authorities. <\/p>\n
