Israel-Hezbollah conflict : The Israeli army has said that it is activating reserve troops in the wake of increasing tensions with the Hezbollah terrorist group. The announcement made on Wednesday indicates that Israel is planning even tougher action against the Lebanon-based group Hezbollah. This announcement was made just hours after Hezbollah fired a missile toward Tel Aviv for the first time.

The Israeli army said it was calling up two reserve brigades for an ongoing mission in the northern region. The army said this would help continue the fight against the terrorist group Hezbollah.

Missile fired targeting Mossad headquarters

Hezbollah said it fired a Qader-1 ballistic missile targeting the headquarters of Israel's intelligence agency Mossad. Hezbollah has blamed Mossad for targeting its top commanders and for attacks last week in which explosives hidden in pagers and walkie-talkies killed dozens and injured thousands, including many Hezbollah members.

The Israeli military said it was the first time a missile fired from Lebanon had reached central Israel. However, Hezbollah claimed to have targeted an intelligence base near Tel Aviv in an airstrike last month, but there was no confirmation of this.

How many people have died so far?

In the early days of the Israel-Hamas war, the militant group targeted Tel Aviv several times. Israeli attacks on Monday and Tuesday killed at least 560 people in Lebanon and forced thousands to seek shelter.
