The escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon took a dramatic turn on Wednesday, as a large rocket barrage from Lebanon struck Israel, including a direct hit on Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv.
This marks the largest missile strike since the assassination of Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, 40 days ago.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth, a prominent Israeli newspaper, the missile landed within the airport compound, triggering a series of explosions that were heard in the vicinity.
Channel 12 Israel reported that air traffic was immediately suspended following the attack, with the situation causing widespread concern across the region.
The incident comes as part of a broader wave of missile strikes, with reports indicating multiple explosions were heard across northern and central Israel.
Air raid sirens were activated in 150 towns and cities, further escalating the tension.
The attack is the latest chapter in the ongoing conflict that has seen a significant uptick in cross-border hostilities.
The rockets are believed to be linked to Hezbollah, with the group intensifying its activities following the death of its leader.
As the security situation continues to evolve, authorities in Israel are on high alert, with military and emergency services responding to the attacks.
The situation remains fluid, and both domestic and international observers are closely monitoring the developments.
