TEHRAN – Hezbollah has staged one of its largest attacks on Tel Aviv in response to the deadly Israeli aggression on the Lebanese capital, Beirut.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlined three conditions for a settlement with Hezbollah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He told the Israeli Knesset that these included impunity for the regime to violate Lebanon\u2019s sovereignty in the south, something that has been rejected by the Lebanese parliament speaker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein arrived in Beirut on Tuesday to exchange the Israeli side\u2019s conditions for a truce.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His visit coincided with one of the deadliest Israeli attacks on Lebanese civilians since the war erupted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Lebanese resistance responded to the Israeli aggression with surface-to-surface long-range missiles and drones to strike Tel Aviv and its suburbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Footage shows extensive damage in the Israeli commercial hub including high-rise buildings set ablaze and streets filled with panic and emergency services.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In one area, Israeli police confirmed that \u201cthese are not interception fragments (from the Iron Dome and other Israeli air defense systems); it was a direct hit, and there is fear of building collapses.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Israeli media said sirens sounded across at least 20 cities, stretching from Netanya to Tel Aviv, causing a power outage in parts of Tel Aviv. Videos circulating online showed areas of Tel Aviv\u2019s suburbs without electricity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A recent Hezbollah attack on Haifa struck an energy plant that left parts of Haifa in the dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The number of rockets, missiles, and drones launched overnight from Monday to Tuesday is not clear.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
At one point Israeli media reported at least four missiles had targeted \u201cTel Aviv in the latest barrage\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A direct hit struck what Hebrew media claimed was adjacent to a shopping mall in the Ayalon Mall area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Following the attack, Ben Gurion Airport was forced to close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Israeli military acknowledged that several rockets fired from Lebanon struck Tel Aviv, including Ramat Gan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Other areas of Israel also came under attack. One rocket hit a bus in Bnei Brak, setting it ablaze, according to reports. Others indicated it was damaged from a nearby explosion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An Israeli media outlet reported among the missiles that landed in Tel Aviv was a Fateh 110 missile, which is a surface-to-surface missile recognized for its significant destructive power. It is engineered to strike critical targets with pinpoint accuracy within a margin of up to ten meters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dozens of casualties have been reported. The final death toll is yet to be revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the same time, Haifa and its surrounding areas also came under attack. One hospital in Haifa said, \u201cWe received 39 injured people from Shfaram\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amid the overnight attack, Hezbollah put out a statement that read, \u201cWithin the framework of the Khaybar operations, our fighters launched an air attack with a squadron of qualitative suicide drones on sensitive military points \u2013 which will be announced later \u2013 in the city of Tel Aviv.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Tuesday morning, footage showed the aftermath of a rocket fired from Lebanon that had made an impact on the Beit Lid military base north of Tel Aviv.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reports circulated that Hezbollah targeted Ramat Gan\u2019s security complex with a missile aimed at a building belonging to the Military Intelligence Unit 8200.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Early Tuesday morning, Hezbollah issued the first statement related to its assault on Tel Aviv.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs part of the Khaybar series of operations, and with the call of \u2018We are at your service O Nasrallah\u2019, the\u00a0fighters of the Islamic Resistance at 8:45 PM on Monday 18-11-2024,\u00a0targeted the Tel Haim base (belonging to the Military Intelligence Division of the \u201cIsraeli\u201d enemy army), 120 kilometers from the Lebanese-Palestinian border, in the city of Tel Aviv with a barrage of qualitative missiles and a squadron of attack drones, hitting their targets accurately.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A squadron of attack drones on the Regavim base (a military base containing training camps for the Golani Brigade) 65 kilometers from the Lebanese-Palestinian border in the southeast of the occupied city of Haifa, was also struck and hit their targets accurately, Hezbollah announced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another statement declared that \u201cresistance fighters targeted an Israeli drone of the Hermes 450 type over the skies of Al-Taybeh with a surface-to-air missile. The drone was successfully shot down and seen ablaze.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Tuesday morning, Tel Aviv woke up to more explosions as air raid sirens sounded in dozens of cities in central and northern Israel. Another Hezbollah missile barrage has been reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hezbollah said it targeted \u201ca training base for the Paratroopers Brigade in the Karmiel settlement with a rocket barrage\u201d on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Israeli media cited former senior Shin Bet official Adi Karmi as saying, \u201cStriking the home front from Hezbollah is a major achievement with significant importance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Israeli activist Uri Feltman conceded that \u201cNetanyahu\u2019s claim of wiping out 80% of Hezbollah\u2019s missiles was pure fantasy.\u201d<\/p>\n
What concerns those in Tel Aviv is that Hezbollah\u2019s capability to strike them with missiles and drones remains intact.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It also shows that Israeli defenses are increasingly vulnerable, and strikes by the Lebanese resistance movement are getting more accurate.
