The Israeli military reported on Wednesday that it successfully intercepted a surface-to-surface missile launched from Lebanon earlier in the day. The militant group Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the missile, stating it targeted the Israeli Mossad spy agency.

The missile launch triggered air raid sirens across Tel Aviv and central Israel, but no casualties or damage were reported, as the projectile was destroyed by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The military described the incident as a significant escalation in tensions.

This escalation follows the killing of senior Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Qubaisi, who led the group’s missile and rocket force, in an Israeli airstrike in Berlin on Tuesday.

In related developments, the foreign ministers of Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq convened on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. They condemned Israel’s actions in Lebanon, warning that the current aggression could lead to an "all-out war" in the region. The ministers emphasized that halting Israel's military operations in Gaza is crucial to de-escalating the situation.

Additionally, Israeli airstrikes have continued for a third consecutive day, targeting Hezbollah facilities in southern Lebanon, including weapons depots and missile launchpads. The Israeli military confirmed that the airstrikes resulted in multiple explosions, indicating the presence of large quantities of stored weapons.

Following the death of Commander Ibrahim Kobeisi in an airstrike on a southern Beirut suburb, Hezbollah announced that he was "martyred on the road to Jerusalem," a phrase the group uses for fighters killed by Israeli forces.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that the country will continue its operations against Hezbollah, asserting that the group is attempting to escalate the situation and instill fear among the Israeli population. The IDF confirmed that they also struck the missile launcher in southern Lebanon that fired the intercepted missile.
