Hezbollah stepped up its actions against Israel on Wednesday (25), launching a ballistic missile towards Tel Aviv, the country’s main economic center. The attack, considered bold and unprecedented, was intercepted by Israeli defenses before reaching its target.
According to international affairs analyst Américo Martins, “this was a bold attack by Hezbollah. For the first time, the group fired a ballistic missile toward Tel Aviv, Israel’s main city and financial capital.” The expert emphasizes that, according to Hezbollah militants, the target was the Mossad, Israel’s international espionage service.
Israeli response and escalation of the conflict
In response to the attack, Israel stepped up its military operations, carrying out several strikes in southern Lebanon and the Beqa Valley. The Lebanese Health Ministry reported that at least six people were killed in the strikes.
The Israeli government believes that this action by Hezbollah indicates an escalation by the Lebanese Shiite group against Israel’s military operations. The situation increases concerns about a possible expansion of the conflict in the region.
Impact on the population and international alert
The incident caused moments of tension in Tel Aviv, with warning sirens being activated and people seeking shelter. Although the missile was intercepted without causing material damage or casualties, the attack demonstrates Hezbollah’s ability to strike distant and strategic targets in Israeli territory.
The international community is watching with apprehension the escalation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, fearing that the conflict could expand beyond its current borders and further destabilize the Middle East region.
