Israeli army says Iranian missile fell in Keserwan on Tuesday

The Israeli military said a ballistic missile launched from Iran fell in Lebanese territory on Tuesday, as the Middle East war dragged into its fourth week.

"Following an assessment and based on the data available to the IDF (Israeli army), alongside the launches carried out toward the State of Israel earlier today, a ballistic missile fired by the Iranian terror regime fell in Beirut," a military statement said, referring to the missile fragments that landed in various areas of Keserwan and Metn earlier in the day.

U.S. and Lebanese security sources had said that the Iranian missile was intercepted over Keserwan, with U.S. officials suggesting that the missile might have been headed toward nearby Cyprus. Other reports said the missile was aimed at a U.S. target in Lebanon, possibly the U.S. Embassy in Awkar.

The missile fragments caused material damage in several Keserwan areas.
