“The Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah on Tuesday said it had launched a missile attack at an Israeli military base near Tel Aviv, sending residents fleeing into shelters hours before Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken was due to arrive in the city for meetings with Israeli officials. Israel’s military said five projectiles were fired at central Israel from Lebanon, adding that most were intercepted and one fell in an open area. Hezbollah said it had targeted the Glilot base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv, which houses the headquarters of Unit 8200, a signals intelligence branch of the Israeli military. … The Israeli military said Tuesday that it did not target the Rafik Hariri University Hospital in its wave of overnight strikes near Beirut. An Israeli strike near the entrance of the hospital killed at least four people, including a child, according to Lebanese officials.” (10/22/24)
