An Israeli army spokesman said ten launches were detected from Lebanon toward central Israel, with some being intercepted and others making impact. The army also said 30 rockets were launched at the western Galilee, with only some being intercepted.
Hezbollah’s military media reported that the Glilot base, headquarters of the 8200 Military Intelligence Unit, was targeted with missiles.

Large plumes of smoke were seen rising out of several locations, including the Haifa area.
The successive rocket and missile barrages come days after the Israeli military claimed it had destroyed 70 percent of Hezbollah’s rocket capabilities.

The attacks came several hours after Hezbollah fired several rockets at the Tel Aviv area early on 24 November. The army said six projectiles were detected crossing from Lebanon, and that all were intercepted except one which struck “an open area.”
The Lebanese resistance also targeted the Galilee with missiles and a swarm of drones early on Sunday.
“The Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance targeted, in a complex operation, at 06:30 on Sunday 11-24-2024, a military target in the city of Tel Aviv, with a volley of qualitative missiles and a squadron of attack drones, and the operation achieved its goals,” Hezbollah announced.
Israeli media outlets reported that 130 rockets have been launched from Lebanon at Israel since the morning of 24 November.

An eight-story residential building in the central Beirut neighborhood of Basta was destroyed after being hit by at least four Israeli missiles during the early hours of 23 November.
The Israeli attack killed at least 20 and injured 66, according to an updated toll from the Lebanese Health Ministry.
Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem affirmed in a speech last week that Israeli strikes on central Beirut would be met with resistance attacks on the heart of Tel Aviv.
“We cannot leave the capital under the blows of the Israeli enemy unless it pays the price, and the price is the center of Tel Aviv. I hope that the enemy understands that things are not left to chance,” Qassem said.
A Hezbollah missile made direct impact in Tel Aviv on 18 November, a day after deadly attacks on the Ras al-Nabaa and Mar Elias areas of central Beirut.
The head of Hezbollah’s Media Relations office, Mohammad Afif, was assassinated in the strike on Ras al-Nabaa.
