The missile launch set off air raid sirens in Tel Aviv and across central Israel. No casualties or damage were reported, as the projectile was destroyed by Israel's army.

The Israeli military said the move represented "an escalation." It all comes after senior Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Kobeisi, who headed the group's missile and rocket force, was killed in Beirut on Tuesday.
