STORYLINE:
A rocket interception was seen above Tel Aviv on Monday, as the Israeli military said the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah had launched more than 100 projectiles toward Israel.
The military said in a statement that the air force had intercepted over central Israel "one projectile that was identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory. A fall was identified in the area, it was most likely shrapnel from the interceptor launched."
Hezbollah began launching missiles, rockets and drones at Israel on Oct. 8, 2023, in solidarity with Hamas in its war with Israel in Gaza. Israel stepped up their attack against Hezbollah in mid-September.
More than 3,400 people have been killed in Lebanon by Israeli fire — 80% of them in the past eight weeks — according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. In Israel, 77 people, including 31 soldiers, have been killed by Hezbollah.
