Hezbollah targets defense ministry in Tel Aviv, rocket attack kills man in Nahariya
Hezbollah said Thursday it had targeted a defense ministry complex in Tel Aviv, as well as other military objectives in northern Israel.
Israeli emergency services said a rocket fired from Lebanon killed a man and seriously wounded another in Nahariya in northern Israel on Thursday.
Hezbollah also said it had fired rockets in Lebanon's Khiam, scene of fierce fighting with Israeli troops.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that his country's forces were expanding a "buffer zone" in southern Lebanon, adding that dismantling Hezbollah "remains central" to Israel's objectives in Lebanon.
The Israeli army meanwhile said it has killed more than 30 Hezbollah operatives, including ten members of the group's elite Radwan Force, in one area of southern Lebanon during ground operations in recent days.
Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty announced on a visit to Beirut on Thursday the delivery of 1,000 tons of humanitarian aid, while calling for the immediate cessation of what he called Israel's "aggression".
Hezbollah and its ally Amal condemned the government's decision to declare Iran's ambassador persona non grata, while movements aligned with the groups called for a sit-in to support the envoy Thursday afternoon.
