The Israel Defense Forces (IDF-IDF) reported that “Hezbollah” planned to strike central Israel, but the attack was thwarted. Most of the missiles that reached their targets fell in the northern part of the country, AFP summarized.
The IDF claims to have mobilized about 100 fighter jets, which struck down “thousands“ Hezbollah rocket launchers during the pre-emptive strike. Meanwhile, flights to and from Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv were resumed.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF-IDF) launched airstrikes against targets in Lebanon, citing self-defense against expected rocket and anti-missile fire from Hezbollah.
IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari warned that “Hezbollah” could escalate by firing more shells at Israeli cities. He urged Lebanese civilians near Hezbollah positions to evacuate, underscoring the risk of a wider conflict that could affect both countries and the region.
Earlier, the IDF said Hezbollah had planned to strike central Israel, but the attack had been foiled. However, Israel remains on high alert depending on how the situation develops.
