Hezbollah launched a ballistic missile at Tel Aviv early Wednesday, after Israel carried out strikes on Lebanon that killed hundreds of people and the militants fired rockets across northern Israel.
The trade of cross-border missiles came after the deadliest day of conflict in Lebanon since 2006. Lebanon’s health ministry said on Tuesday that 558 people have been killed.
Analysts say it's Israel's largest aerial strikes against Hezbollah since 2006. Lebanon's Health Ministry say dozens of women and children are among the casualties.
The Israeli military said 150 rockets, cruise missiles and drones were launched toward Israel. Earlier, exploding electronic devices and an airstrike in Beirut killed dozens and wounded thousands.
The airstrike follows a deadly week of attacks that have intensified nearly a year of fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed Lebanese militia Hezbollah.
Gold Apollo denied all involvement with the explosive pagers, telling NPR outside its offices in Taiwan that it was a Budapest-based company called BAC Consulting which manufactured the devices.
Electronic pagers belonging to members of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah exploded simultaneously on Tuesday afternoon, killing at least nine people and wounding around 2,800.
The U.S. and other governments issued Lebanon travel advisories and some airlines stopped flying there, in anticipation of an escalation of fighting after assassinations in Iran and Beirut.
A rocket has hit a sports complex filled with children playing soccer in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights region Saturday afternoon, on the same day that an Israeli strike in Gaza devastated a school building and killed dozens.
