The Israeli military said it intercepted a missile fired from Lebanon today that for the "first time in history" targeted economic center Tel Aviv. The missile was fired from the area of Nafakhiyeh in southern Lebanon, the Israel Defense Forces said earlier this morning, before announcing its forces had struck the launcher it was fired from.

The Israeli military said it intercepted the surface-to-surface missile, which set off air-raid sirens in Tel Aviv and across central Israel. The military said it struck the site in southern Lebanon where the missile was launched.

Israel said it was the first time the Lebanese militia had taken aim at Israel’s economic hub. Half a million people are displaced in Lebanon, the foreign minister said.
