Ministers Urge Halt to Israeli Aggression in Gaza Amid Escalating Regional Tensions

Ministers Urge Halt to Israeli Aggression in Gaza Amid Escalating Regional Tensions

The ministers said that stopping the dangerous escalation underway in the region… begins by halting Israel’s aggression in Gaza, in a joint statement issued after a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.

The Israeli military said on Wednesday that for the “first time” a missile fired by Hezbollah reached the Tel Aviv area before being intercepted by Israel’s air defenses.

“It is the first time a Hezbollah missile reached (the) Tel Aviv area. It was intercepted,” an army spokesman told AFP.

The Israeli military said it struck the launcher that fired the missile in the Nafakhiyeh area of south Lebanon.

Israeli warplanes also carried out a series of strikes during the night on targets in Lebanese territory, it said.
