• Boudaya's home hit during live TV interview
• He later confirmed on Twitter that he is fine

Lebanese journalist Fadi Boudaya was injured after an Israeli missile hit his home when he was doing a live TV interview.

In a video which went viral on social media, Boudaya is seen speaking during the live interview as a missile hits his home, throwing him off the screen.

Boudaya, who is the editor-in-chief of Miraya International Network, later tweeted that he was doing fine.

"Thank you to everyone who called, texted, checked in, and to everyone who felt any emotion. Thank God, I am fine, thanks to God and His blessings upon us, and we return to continue our media duty in support of the resistance. Thank you from the bottom of my heart," he said, who is considered sympathetic to the armed group Hezbollah.

Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah have been engaged in cross-border warfare since the Gaza war erupted last October, the worst such escalation in years.

The conflict escalated in recent days after a sophisticated attack on Hezbollah members, in which their communication devices, including pagers and walkie-talkies, exploded in a targeted manner. Hezbollah alleged that Israel was behind the attacks, while the Jewish nation has neither accepted or denied the claims.

The ongoing conflict has triggered fears of an all-out war after both sides have been trading rockets in recently. At the time of filing of this report, Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon have killed 558 people, including 50 children.

On Monday evening, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video message for the people of Lebanon, urging them to get out of the harm's way by leaving their homes as Israel strikes Hezbollah targets. He said once the operation is finished, they can return to their homes.
