******* records 250 launches from Lebanon as Hezbollah targets Tel Aviv, south

*******’s military said Hezbollah fired around 250 projectiles into its territory from Lebanon on Sunday, with the militants saying their attacks targeted the Tel Aviv area and *******’s south.

The Iran-backed group said in a statement that it had “launched, for the first time, an aerial ******* using a swarm of ******* drones on the Ashdod naval base” in southern *******.

Later, it said it fired “a barrage of advanced missiles and a swarm of ******* drones” at a “military target” in Tel Aviv, and had also launched a volley of missiles at the Glilot army intelligence base in the city’s suburbs. Hezbollah has previously reported attacks against the Glilot base.

The ******** military did not comment on the specific ******* claims when contacted by AFP.

But it said earlier that air raid sirens had sounded in several locations in central and northern *******, including in the Tel Aviv suburbs.

The army later told AFP around 250 projectiles that were fired by Hezbollah have crossed from Lebanon into *******, updating the figure from 160 earlier on Sunday. Some of the projectiles were shot down.

The military said the highest number of projectiles, 350, was recorded on September 24, 2024.

Since September 23, ******* has intensified its Lebanon air campaign, later sending in ground troops against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. The war followed nearly a year of limited exchanges of ***** initiated by Hezbollah in support of its ally ****** after the ************ group’s October 7, 2023 ******* on *******, which sparked the Gaza war.

Medical agencies reported that at least 11 people were wounded in *******, including a man in a “moderate to serious” condition.

The Palestine Red Crescent said 13 people were injured at the ******** camp of Tulkarem in the ********-occupied West Bank after an interceptor missile fell on several houses.

It added the injuries were “minor to moderate”, including burns, shrapnel and bruises.

AFP images from Petah Tikva, near Tel Aviv, showed several damaged and burned-out cars, and a house pockmarked by shrapnel.

The wave of projectiles follows at least four deadly ******** strikes in the heart of Beirut in the past week, including one that ******* Hezbollah spokesman Mohammed Afif.

In a speech on Wednesday, Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said the response to the recent strikes on the capital “must be expected on central Tel Aviv”.

Lebanon’s health ministry says at least 3,670 people have been ******* in the country since October 2023, most of them since September this year.
