Hezbollah takes responsibility for the missile attack on central Israel this morning, claiming to have targeted the Mossad headquarters near Tel Aviv with a “Qader 1” ballistic missile.

It says the attack is a response to the pager and walkie-talkie explosions and the assassinations of top commanders in the terror group.

Meanwhile, the IDF says it struck a Hezbollah launcher in Lebanon used to fire the surface-to-surface missile this morning.

The launcher was hit in southern Lebanon’s Nafakhiyeh, according to the IDF.
