The Israeli military says it is currently conducting extensive strikes in southern Lebanon and the eastern Bekka Valley after Hezbollah fired a ballistic missile that reached the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
It comes after Hezbollah fired a ballistic missile targeting Israeli spy agency Mossad's headquarters near Tel Aviv.
Lebanese state media is reporting a strike hit the Shi'ite town of Maaysrah, referring to a place in the mountains of the Christian-majority Keserwan region.It is the first time the area has been struck in recent hostilities between the Israeli military and Hezbollah. It was the first time a Hezbollah missile has ever reached the Tel Aviv area and it was intercepted by the country's defence system.
Over a two-day period last week, thousands of pagers, as well as walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah operatives, blew up in Lebanon, killing at least 39 people and wounding thousands.The attacks were widely believed to have been carried out by Israel, which has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement.
