The Israeli military struck Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Sunday after claiming the group had been planning a “large-scale attack”, while the Iranian-backed group said it had sent drones and rockets into Israel.
The Israeli military said its fighter jets attacked thousands of Hezbollah rocket launchers in south Lebanon that were aimed at northern and central Israel.
“Approximately 100 IAF fighter jets … struck and destroyed thousands of Hezbollah rocket launcher barrels that were located and embedded in southern Lebanon,” the military said in a statement. “Most of these launchers were aimed toward northern Israel and some were aimed toward central Israel.”
It said initial assessments found “very little damage” in Israel from Hezbollah’s own operation, but that the military remained on high alert.
