TEL AVIV – Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for a missile attack on the headquarters of Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, located in the central region of Israel. The attack was carried out as retaliation for the deaths of senior Hezbollah commanders in recent pager and walkie-talkie bombings.
According to international news agencies, Hezbollah launched a ballistic missile, identified as the “Qadr-1,” targeting Mossad’s headquarters in Tel Aviv. Israeli military authorities confirmed the missile fell near the Mossad building, resulting in a fire but no reported casualties or significant damage.
Hezbollah, however, asserted that the missile successfully bypassed Israel’s sophisticated defense systems and hit its intended target, despite the strong technological defenses in place.
In a statement, Hezbollah declared that the attack was retribution for the loss of high-ranking commanders in Lebanon during recent bombings. The group emphasized that it had carefully planned the strike to avenge their deaths.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military spokesman confirmed that earlier today, Israeli forces destroyed a Hezbollah missile launcher in Lebanon that had been used to fire ground-to-ground missiles.
The tension between Israel and Hezbollah continues to escalate as both sides exchange attacks, raising concerns about further conflict in the region.
