This morning, Hezbollah fired a "Qader 1" missile at Tel Aviv this morning. The Kader 1 is an upgraded version of the Shahab 3, which is a strategic missile desgined by North Korea. The Qader 1 was built and provided by Iran.

The missile moves at 4,000 km/h, and reaches Tel Aviv only 5 minutes after being launched from Lebanon. Its warhead size is up to 1,200 kg.

The missile was intercepted by the David’s Sling. This is because of its size and the distance it traveled, which meant that the Iron Dome could not bring it down.

During the attack, there were commercial airlines in the sky, which were photographed together with the interception.

Hezbollah took responsibility for firing towards the Mossad headquarters. They said that the attack was in response to Israel's beeper/ pager attacks. and that the Mossad command headquarters located in the suburbs of Tel Aviv is responsible for assassinating senior members of the organization and exploding communication devices (walkie talkies) and beepers.

Hezbollah also said they had fired precision missiles towards the IDF's Intelligence Base 8200 at Camp Glilot.

After the interception, the IDF spokesperson announced that "For now, there is no change in the Home Front Command's instructions in the center, and school will continue as usual."
