JERUSALEM/BEIRUT — Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement fired heavy rocket barrages at Israel on Sunday, and the Israeli military said houses had been destroyed or set on fire near Tel Aviv, after a powerful Israeli airstrike killed at least 29 people in Beirut the day before.
Hezbollah, which has previously vowed to respond to attacks on Beirut by targeting Tel Aviv, said it had launched precision missiles at two military sites in Tel Aviv and nearby.
Police said there were multiple impact sites in the area of Petah Tikvah, on the eastern side of Tel Aviv, and that several people had minor injuries.
The Israeli military said a direct hit on a neighborhood had left “houses in flames and ruins.” Television footage showed an apartment damaged by rocket fire.
