JERUSALEM — Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah fired a surface-to-surface missile towards Tel Aviv on Wednesday, said the Israeli military.

The missile triggered sirens across central Israel before the country’s aerial defense systems intercepted it, it said.

According to Israel’s Channel 12 TV news, the attack was aimed at the Glilot Base, where Unit 8200, an elite cyber intelligence unit, is located.

Zaki Heller, spokesperson for the Magan David Adom rescue service, said no casualties have been reported.
