Rocket Interception Over Tel Aviv During Diplomatic Visit

Two rockets fired from Lebanon were intercepted by Israel's air force over Tel Aviv while U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was visiting. Simultaneously, drones from the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted Eilat but were also intercepted. There were no reported injuries from these incidents.

In a tense incident on Wednesday, Israel's air force successfully intercepted two rockets launched from Lebanon towards Tel Aviv. The attack triggered air raid sirens across the city, prompting U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and others at his hotel to seek shelter.

This rocket interception coincided with another military operation in which Israeli forces downed two drones targeting the port city of Eilat. The targeted area had been attacked by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a pro-Iranian militant group claiming responsibility for the assaults.

Despite the coordinated attacks, military officials reported no injuries, underscoring the effectiveness of Israel's defense systems amidst escalating regional tensions.
