Early on Wednesday, air raid sirens were heard in central and northern Israel, causing a delay in the departure of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The Israeli military reported that Hezbollah targeted a military base north of Tel Aviv.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for firing rockets at the Glilot military base, which houses an Israeli military intelligence unit. Fortunately, the rocket fire was intercepted by Israel, and there were no reported casualties or harm to Blinken, who was scheduled to leave Tel Aviv on Thursday morning.
The Israeli military confirmed that two projectiles fired from Lebanon crossed into Israel and were successfully intercepted. Israeli police received reports of falling interceptor parts in the areas of Herzliya and Ramat Hasharon in central Israel, with one vehicle sustaining damage.
This incident occurred as Blinken was on a diplomatic mission to the Middle East following the recent killing of a Hamas leader by the Israeli military. The situation remains tense in the region as both sides navigate escalating tensions and security threats.
