Five projectiles were fired at the Israeli business capital just before 8 a.m. local time, setting off warning sirens. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it targeted an intelligence base in Glilot, near Tel Aviv, belonging to the elite Unit 8200. Israel has had success in killing top leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah in recent weeks, including Yahya Sinwar of Hamas and Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah . Netanyahu has vowed to destroy Hamas but hasn’t spelled out a vision for how Gaza could be governed after the fighting. Hezbollah has said it is launching attacks on Israel in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and indicated that it will continue until there is a cease-fire there.
