Hezbollah targets IDF Home Front Command HQ in Ramle — 16 lightly injured, daycare damaged

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for a precision missile attack on the IDF Home Front Command headquarters — known as Rehavam Base — in Ramle, central Israel. Hezbollah also claimed to have struck a 'satellite communications station' in Haela Valley near Beit Shemesh, which it said belongs to the Israeli military. In fact, the station is a civilian satellite facility operated by the European company SES. Magen David Adom treated 16 people lightly injured in the attack: 14 in Ramle, including damage to a nearby daycare, and 2 in the Mateh Yehuda Regional Council area where police said a missile struck an open area causing infrastructure damage. The IDF destroyed all 3 Hezbollah launchers used in the attack within an hour of the strike. This is the deepest Hezbollah missile attack inside Israel since hostilities intensified on Day 1 of the war. Hezbollah's ability to target a military command installation in the Tel Aviv periphery — Ramle is ~20km from Tel Aviv — represents a significant escalation. The Home Front Command coordinates civilian emergency response across Israel during wartime.
