Air raid sirens are ringing out in Tel Aviv as Israel comes under another rocket attack from Hezbollah.
Videos on social media show the sirens ringing out around the city as reporters at the scene report multiple explosions in the sky as missiles were intercepted.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said approximately five projectiles launched from Lebanon were identified to be crossing into their territory, but they were shot down by the IAF (Israel Air Force) and the rest fell in open areas.
The IDF released a map of the siren locations on social media and said: ‘Following the sirens that sounded in central Israel, several projectile launches were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory. Details are under review.’
It comes after Israel launched further strikes on Hezbollah’s ‘intelligence headquarters’ in Beirut, Lebanon, in the past hour.

The fresh attacks come after ceremonies and events are happening across Israel and in cities around the world to mark the anniversary of the unprecedented attack by Palestinian militants from the Gaza Strip, which claimed more than 1,200 lives.
The IDF meanwhile released never-before-seen footage from October 7, showing Israeli soldiers fighting Hamas terrorists in Kibbutz Re’im on the morning of the onslaught in a reminder of the brutality of the unexpected attacks.
Last year’s shocking insurgency into Israel resulted in the deaths of 1,205 people, mostly civilians, according to tallies based on Israeli official figures that include hostages killed in captivity.
Since then, at least 41,870 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s military campaign in the Gaza Strip according to data provided by the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza. The UN has acknowledged these figures as reliable.
The first anniversary of Hamas’ atrocity comes with Israel still fighting in Gaza and engaged in a fresh war to the north in Lebanon against Hamas ally Hezbollah.
It is also preparing its retaliation against Tehran over an Iranian missile attack last week, raising fears of an even wider conflict.
On a visit to the border with Lebanon this morning to speak with IDF troops engaged in the conflict to the north, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: ‘A year ago, we suffered a terrible blow.
‘But over the past 12 months, we have completely transformed reality,’ he concluded, vowing to achieve victory over Hamas and Hezbollah.
