Hezbollah says fired missiles at Israel air base south of Tel Aviv

BEIRUT (AFP): Hezbollah said it fired missiles at an air base near Tel Aviv on Tuesday, after the Israeli military said it had intercepted projectiles fired from Lebanon.

Hezbollah fighters targeted an “air base south of Tel Aviv… with a salvo of quality missiles,” the group said. The Israeli military said sirens sounded across central Israel and Israeli media reported flights were temporarily halted at Ben Gurion International Airport.
