The rocket fired from Lebanon was intercepted by the Israeli military near Tel Aviv.

"After the siren sounded in the Tel Aviv and Netanya areas, one surface-to-surface missile was identified as crossing from Lebanon and intercepted by the IDF Aerial Defense Array," the Israeli military said.

There have been no reports of damage or casualties.

Since the outbreak of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in October, Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah has fired hundreds of rockets and drones from Lebanon targeting northern Israel.

The missile intercept comes days after an Israeli attack targeting the militant group killed more than 500 people in Lebanon.

Hezbollah has yet to comment on the attack on Tel Aviv.

Flights at Ben Gurion Tel Aviv airport are still running normally. It was also reported that sirens were heard on Wednesday in downtown Netanya for the first time since October 7, 2023, according to Israeli authorities.
