Hezbollah launches drone attack on Israel defense ministry in Tel Aviv

Hezbollah said it launched a drone attack targeting Israel's military headquarters and ministry of defense in the city of Tel Aviv on Wednesday.

In a statement, the Lebanese militant group said it conducted an "aerial attack with a squadron of exploding drones" on the site housing Israel's main defense institutions in the commercial hub.

Air raid sirens were later activated across central and northern Israel as the Israeli army said it intercepted projectiles fired from Lebanon.

"Following the sirens sounded a short while ago in a number of areas in central Israel and in the Carmel area, approximately five projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory. Some of the projectiles were intercepted by the IAF (Israel Air Force)," Israel's army said in a statement.
