Israel carrying out ‘extensive’ strikes in after Hezbollah missile

Israel’s military says it is carrying out a new wave of “extensive” strikes in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa area. Ten people have been killed in the attacks, Lebanon’s health ministry says.

The strikes come after Israel said it had intercepted a ballistic missile fired by Hezbollah towards Tel Aviv – the first such rocket to target the country’s biggest city.

Hezbollah says the attack was directed at the headquarters of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. The Iran-backed group says it is resisting Israeli “aggression” and acting in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel says it aims to remove the threat from Hezbollah and return displaced residents
