Sirens blasted in tens of settlements in Tel Aviv after three rockets were launched from Lebanon toward central occupied Palestine, the Israeli occupation military spokesperson admitted earlier on Tuesday.
As a result, Ben Gurion Airport, which is located in easternmost Tel Aviv, went out of service for over half an hour, according to the Israeli Channel 12.
Simultaneously, sirens also blared in Nahariya in West al-Jalil after rockets launched from Lebanon made impact in its Industrial Zone, killing two Israelis and wounding two others, Channel 14's correspondent reported.
Israeli media then revealed that the casualties were members of the settlement's reserve force.

In Tel Aviv, the Israel Hayom newspaper reported the injury of a settler, citing the Israeli ambulance service.
Meanwhile, the Yedioth Ahronoth correspondent stated that Hezbollah was attacking the north and center at the same time with rockets.
Israeli media had announced that "Hezbollah's rockets traveled tens of kilometers and forced millions of settlers into shelters."
In this context, the Islamic Resistance's Military Media published an image of a rocket inscribed with "O' Revenge of Nasrallah," and captioned with a quote by Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem, saying, "Every rocket that reaches Tel Aviv forces two million settlers into shelters."

Tel Aviv is considered the occupation's economic, vital, and political nucleus. Demographically, the city has become a refuge for settlers fleeing from the Gaza envelope, as well as from the north up to Haifa, assuming they would be safe from resistance rockets.
However, just today, Hezbollah announced that it had targeted the Tel Nof airbase south of Tel Aviv with a barrage of high-end rockets.
Tel Aviv has been targeted five times during the past week, with four of the operations carried out by Hezbollah. These included the targeting of the Tzrifin base near Ben Gurion Airport, the Bilu base of the reserve paratrooper brigade in the south, and the Tel Nof airbase in the south twice.
The fifth attack was carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces on the Nahal Sorek military base in the south.
