Heavy exchange of fire continues between Israel and Hezbollah on Sunday. Israel struck Hezbollah's south Beirut stronghold and intense fighting in the border area as reported by  Lebanese media. In response, Iran-backed Hezbollah fired about 250 rockets and other projectiles into Israel in one of the militant group's heaviest barrages in months wounding at least seven people. 

Israeli air defences intercepted some rockets fired by Hezbollah, but others caused damage to structures in central Israel, according to a report by AFP. Some projectiles even reached the Tel Aviv area in the heart of Israel. 

Hezbollah, in a statement, said that it had "launched, for the first time, an aerial attack using a swarm of attack drones on the Ashdod naval base" in southern Israel. Later, it said it fired "a barrage of advanced missiles and a swarm of attack drones" at a "military target" in Tel Aviv, and had also launched a volley of missiles at the Glilot army intelligence base in the city's suburbs. Hezbollah has previously reported attacks against the Glilot base.

The Israeli military confirmed around 250 projectiles were fired in one of the war's highest daily figures. On September 24--  the day after Israel escalated air strikes against Hezbollah-- there were 350 launches from Lebanon, according to the military.
