BEIRUT (Dispatches) --
Hezbollah has fired a ballistic missile targeting Mossad’s headquarters near Tel Aviv, the Lebanese resistance movement said.
Warning sirens sounded in Tel Aviv on Wednesday as a surface-to-surface missile crossed from Lebanon, the Israeli military said.
Hezbollah said that the building targeted was where the Israeli intelligence agency planned the recent attacks using pagers and other wireless devices. The launch came amid Israel’s bombardment of Lebanon, which has martyred at least 620 people and forced tens of thousands to flee.
It is the first time that the resistance group has claimed a ballistic missile strike since October 2023.
“The Islamic Resistance launched a ‘Qader 1’ ballistic missile at 6:30am (03:30 GMT) on Wednesday, 25-9-2024, targeting the Mossad headquarters in the outskirts of Tel Aviv,” Hezbollah said in a statement. “This headquarters is responsible for the assassination of leaders and the explosion of pagers and wireless devices.”
The group added that the strike was carried out in support of the people of Gaza and “in defense of Lebanon and its people”.
The Israeli military said it was the first time a projectile fired from Lebanon had reached central occupied territories.
Hezbollah claimed to have targeted an intelligence base near Tel Aviv last month in an aerial attack.
The Zionist military reported on Wednesday that Hezbollah had also launched attacks on the occupied Syrian region of Golan Heights and near Mount Carmel in northern Israeli occupied territories.
Observers said it appears that Hezbollah has ramped up its firing of rockets at Zionist targets. They said the missile fired at Tel Aviv was meant as a “message”.
While the Zionist military said it had intercepted the missile, the fear for settlers is that the missile defense system simply gets overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, the occupying regime of Israel continued overnight and into Wednesday to pound Lebanon.
The Israeli military said it conducted a series of airstrikes in four waves, one of the largest campaigns in its history, with 250 fighter jets dropping 2,000 munitions.
At least 51 more people were martyred and over 220 others injured on the third consecutive day of Israeli bombings.
The airstrikes included rare bombardment of the villages of Joun and Maaysra—mountain areas outside Hezbollah’s traditional strongholds in southern and eastern Lebanon.
Israel’s military also reported conducting strikes in the Nabatiyeh region, with the National News Agency indicating that an Israeli strike partially damaged a hospital there.
The Lebanese Health Ministry said the strike on Joun in the Chouf mountains southeast of Beirut resulted in four fatalities, while another strike in Maaysra, a village about 25 kilometers north of Beirut, martyred three people.
Additionally, nine people were martyred in strikes in southern Lebanon, and seven in the east.
The United Nations said approximately 90,000 people have been displaced in Lebanon amid the ongoing Israeli aggression.
The head of Israel’s Northern Command said the military should “strongly prepare” for a potential ground invasion of Lebanon. Reports said the occupying regime has announced plans to call up reserve brigades.
Hezbollah said it carried out new missile strikes later Wednesday targeting the Sa’ar kibbutz near Nahariya in northern Israel, resulting in injuries.
Israel’s war on Gaza has drawn in Hezbollah and other resistance groups from across the Middle East.
The shift of Israel’s aggression from Gaza to Lebanon in recent days has revived fears that a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah could erupt, or even a conflagration stretching across the region.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq conducted two retaliatory attacks on Israeli targets in occupied Palestine on Wednesday.
It said in a statement published on its Telegram channel early on Wednesday that the group targeted several Israeli military targets in the Jordan Valley using drones.
The Israeli defense system failed

to intercept the drone that hit the Ramon air base causing fire. According to the Israeli media, this is the first time Iraqi resistance drones hit Ramon base.
The Iraqi resistance launched another strike against a vital target in the north of the occupied lands with an advanced Al-Arqab cruise missile.
On Tuesday, Iraqi fighters carried out an operation against a strategic position in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The resistance announced that it had launched the attack with an Al-Arfad kamikaze drone.
The coalition noted that it will continue to target and destroy important installations across the occupied lands.
