State of emergency declared in Israel’s Tel Aviv after Hezbollah attack

A state of Emergency has been declared in Israel's capital Tel Aviv following Hezbollah fired rockets, Al Jazeera reported.

According to details, Hezbollah fired medium-range rockets on northern Israel and Tel Aviv in the central region in the morning, with the Israeli army reporting hostile aircraft sirens sounding in the targeted areas.

 A man has been wounded in the town of Ma’agan Michael by falling interceptor fragments.

Multiple media reports also said a residential building and several cars were damaged in the northern Israeli town due to falling shrapnel following the interception of rockets fired from Lebanon.

The Lebanese group has said it has bombed the Glilot base of military intelligence unit 8200 in the suburbs of Tel Aviv with a “qualitative missile salvo.”

“We counted around 12 medium-range rockets launching towards Haifa and Tel Aviv. It is a big sign from Hezbollah that they still have the capability despite all the fighting that is taking place,” says Al Jazeera correspondent Imran Khan.

Israeli authorities have declared a state of emergency in the Tel Aviv area, but no casualties have been reported.

Air traffic has been completely stopped at the Ben Gurion airport, according to the Israeli media.
