In first, Iranian ballistic missile intercepted over Lebanon, say sources
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Iranian ballistic missile was intercepted over Lebanon this afternoon, in a first, three Lebanese security sources tell Reuters.
Two of the sources say the interception was carried out by a “foreign naval vessel,” apparently referring to the United States.
Fragments from the interception struck towns north of Beirut, according to Lebanese media, causing light injuries.
On Sunday night, two ballistic missiles launched from Iran at Israel instead struck Lebanese territory, according to the IDF.
Earlier today, Lebanon said it was kicking the Iranian ambassador out of the country, possibly sparking an angry response from Tehran.
