Hezbollah has fired a missile towards the Israeli city of Tel Aviv early on Wednesday morning.
The Israeli military says air raid sirens sounded around Tel Aviv and central Israel, but the missile was intercepted and there were no reports of damage or casualties.
Hezbollah said the attack was directed at the headquarters of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad – in support of the "valiant and honourable resistance" of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and "in defence of Lebanon and its people".
Israel has been blamed for the pager and walkie-talkie attacks which set off the fighting last week, but it has not claimed responsibility for them.
Israeli media said this is the first time that Hezbollah has targeted the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.
The Israeli military says it has launched a new wave of strikes in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa area, describing them as "extensive".
