Hezbollah fires missile at Tel Aviv | BBC News

Hezbollah has fired a missile towards the Israeli city of Tel Aviv early on Wednesday morning.

The Israeli military says air raid sirens sounded around Tel Aviv and central Israel, but the missile was intercepted and there were no reports of damage or casualties.

Hezbollah said the attack was directed at the headquarters of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad - in support of the "valiant and honourable resistance" of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and "in defence of Lebanon and its people".

Israel has been blamed for the pager and walkie-talkie attacks which set off the fighting last week, but it has not claimed responsibility for them.

Israeli media said this is the first time that Hezbollah has targeted the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.

The Israeli military says it has launched a new wave of strikes in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa area, describing them as "extensive".

Wtf is wrong with that lady, she was not happy with that cease fire response.

[jankaufmann]

You can’t be carrying out missile attacks on a country for months now and not expect a response.

[dwqhfre]

The Lebanese government should call Iran, not the US

[TapadeepChakraborty]

BBC is surprised that the people of Lebanon don't support Hezbollah

[FloridaUk-wg]

BBC don't like when they've a sensible individual tackling their questions.

[ngenyupaul]

If there is no way for the Lebanese government to control Hezbollah, then why criticize Israel for helping them against Iran and at the same time defending themselves?

[utshodas]

She is in utter shock after the man speaks.

[GrinGottsGBL]

Called the americas to stop and deescalate, whilenfiring missles to Israel

[FixedA]

Has the BBC ever criticized Hezbollah?

[mkultrapolis]

The Lebanese govt should at least speak about kicking out the Hezbollah

[francesco_]

The MP was very clear in what are his views on the priority for Lebanese people: “we need a ceasefire and to stop this war”. The BBC host was very unhappy that this gentleman didn’t now blame or assault Israel.

[StephenGoodfellow]

US helping de-escalation by escalation.

[rx-x]

”Lebanon has a Right to defend itself”…same logic yall used for Israel, right ?

[Hekr]

This is the result of the Lebanese government for a long time allowing this and not asking for help from its allies to eradicate terrorism.

[agadababa]

Lebanon 🇱🇧 want the US and the UN to pressure Isreal to halt the assault but does not want to stop the firing into Isreal

[TheDr.]

Did you say they called on American help to end Israeli bombing?? are you joking now??

[eh]

Is the Lebanese Govt calling on Hizbaffoons to cease fire. What have they asked Iran to do.

[Coreanofilos]

Imagine the scale of civilian casualties Israel would have without the Iron Dome. Israel’s ability to effectively defend its citizens doesn’t undermine Hamas or Hezbollah’s intent to cause harm to civilians.

[eltal]

I'm surprised that BBC allow this person to speak

[succatash]

"Thank you for sharing all of your thoughts from your perspective." How try and delegitmize your guest as a presenter. BBC stopped being fair and partial along time ago, very sad.
