State of emergency in Israel's Tel Aviv after Hezbollah claims missile attack

The Israeli military has declared a state of emergency in the Tel Aviv area after Hezbollah claims the bombing which hit Tel Aviv suburbs on Tuesday. 

Quoting Israeli media reports, Al Jazeera said all air traffic at Ben Gurion airport has been halted. 

The Lebanese armed 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”.

Earlier, Hezbollah said it bombed the Nirit area in Israel’s Tel Aviv suburbs with missiles, seemingly referring to a separate attack.

Al Jazeera also reported that 12 medium-range rockets were launched towards Haifa and Tel Aviv. 

Later, Hezbollah also claimed an attack on Israel's 'Stella Maris' naval base, northwest of the coastal city of Haifa. 

Hezbollah also posted a photo on its Telegram channel with a caption claiming a missile strike in an area north of Caesarea, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home is located, without explicitly claiming the attack.

According to multiple Israeli media reports, the Magen David Adom ambulance service says 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.
