As the Israel-Hezbollah conflict escalates, Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday in response to Israel's operations against Hezbollah allies in Lebanon. One of the Iranian missiles was fired less than a kilometre northwest of the Mossad headquarters on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.

A video verified by CNN shows what appears to be an Iranian missile exploding less than a kilometre northwest of the Mossad headquarters on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.

The video was geolocated to a high-rise apartment building in Herzliya, located less than 3 kilometres (1.8 miles) from the Israeli intelligence service's headquarters.

CNN also geolocated another video that seems to depict the missile's impact in a nearby parking lot, revealing a large crater with dirt covering nearby vehicles. This crater is situated just a few hundred meters from a cinema complex.

Images have surfaced, and media outlets have reported craters created by one of the missiles near the Mossad headquarters. One report described a crater measuring 30 feet deep and 50 feet wide, located approximately 50 to 100 feet from the headquarters.
