Hezbollah rocket targets Tel Aviv for first time, Israeli intelligence headquarters targeted

The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah fired a rocket at the Israeli city of Tel Aviv on Wednesday morning (25 September) for the first time since the Gaza war broke out almost a year ago. It is also Hezbollah's deepest strike inside Israel. The militant movement's target was the headquarters of Mossad, Israel's secret service. The missile was intercepted by Israel.

Air alerts were set off in Tel Aviv and other places in central Israel on Wednesday morning. Israel said it immediately launched an attack on the site from which the rocket was fired in Lebanon. An Israeli military spokesman said it did not know what the projectile was aimed at, but that it did not land at the site of the Mossad headquarters. Tel Aviv is about 140 kilometres from the Lebanese border.
