Hezbollah launched
a missile attack on central Israel on Tuesday,22 Oct, sending residents fleeing
to shelters but causing no apparent damage or injuries, the Israeli authorities
said.
The
terrorist group fired five projectiles from within Lebanon into Israel, the
Israeli military said, adding that most were intercepted by Israel’s
missile defense system while one landed in an open area. Israeli police said
there were no reports of damage or injury following the rocket barrage.
Meanwhile, Israel
targeted a Hezbollah naval base in Beirut overnight, the Israeli military said Tuesday, as Iran worked to rally
Gulf Arab nations ahead of a potential retaliatory strike from the Jewish
State.
The Hezbollah naval base held a
training center, an area to conduct experiments and military speedboats that
were intended to be used in attacks on Israeli navy vessels and targets within
Israel’s territorial waters, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.
