Given the earlier exchange of fire in northern Lebanon between Israel and positions believed to be held by Hezbollah, it is almost expected that the war will only escalate more and more from here on out.
The missile strike came within an hour following fake president Joe Biden delivering a speech confirming that the United States will now begin "surging" the sending of defense aid to Israel.
A senior defense official at the Pentagon confirmed that the U.S. is, in fact, "surging support" to Israel in response to the "brutal new tactics" that Israel says Hamas used to penetrate the country's world-class Iron Dome and other defenses.
Boeing confirmed all this as well, revealing that many countries are now initiating evacuation efforts for their citizens living in or visiting Tel Aviv and other places around Israel.

Why is Israel allowed to protect and secure its border but America can't?
Earlier, the Israeli army ordered citizens to evacuate the Metula settlement, which sits along the northern border of Israel with Lebanon.
"In response to the launches identified from Lebanese territory toward Israeli territory, IDF soldiers are currently responding with artillery fire," regional sources reported about the matter.
The IDF claims it intercepted several of the missiles, while many others mostly landed in open fields. There was a death, though, of a senior Israeli officer who was killed in a confrontation with militants on the frontier.
Israeli troops and aircraft reportedly killed two "terrorist infiltrators" who were caught crossing into Israeli territory. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad ended up claiming the two as its members.
All in all, at least three militants from Lebanon's Hezbollah movement ended up dead, and things have since subsided somewhat. The tension that is building up on all fronts could change that, though.
"What's happening here seems to be a kind of contained tension," commented Al Jazeera correspondent Ali Hashem. "Lebanon is not yet a war zone. However, it's an area of operation. But it seems it's also a space for both sides to exchange messages."
Though Iran vehemently denies any involvement in the Hamas attacks, the Western finance media has been spreading rumors about such to the point that many Iranians now fear that the Netanyahu regime could soon start targeting sites inside Iran.
"Iran's supreme leader has strongly rejected any involvement in the Hamas movement's surprise attack on Israel," reads a regional report about the Iranian regime's softening of rhetoric as it pertains to Hamas and Israel.
"The public maneuvering, which involved Ayatollah Ali Khamenei strikingly repeating his rejection of an Iranian role three times in a 90-second span, follows controversial claims in U.S. media that Tehran helped plan the Oct. 7 blitz."
A high-ranking Iranian source told the same regional source on the condition of anonymity that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei of Iran's position could be the result of "him seeing the direction of the Israeli public diplomacy campaign."
In other words, Iran knows it is in Israel's crosshairs and probably wants to wash its hands clean of the entire thing.
The same high-ranking source added that Khamenei's comments rejecting a possible impending Israeli attack are more "pre-emptive" as opposed to reactive.
"I've been told for 35 years now that it is immoral and wrong to protect the American border," one commenter wrote about this whole situation. "Why is Israel's sacrosanct?"
