At least three people have been killed in Israeli bombardments in Lebanon. The Israeli army has launched a “preemptive” strike in response to the Lebanese militia’s intention to carry out a major attack, which has already been completed after drones were launched into Israeli territory.
Israel And Hezbollah They carried out a large-scale reciprocal attack on Sunday morning, initiated by a “preemptive” strike by the Israeli army and continued by an air campaign by the Lebanese militia.
In the early morning hours, the Israeli army launched an attack offensive in Lebanonaccording to his statement, after noting that Hezbollah “is preparing to launch a comprehensive attack on Israel.” “In response to these threats, forces are attacking terrorist targets in Lebanon,” he explained.
The “preemptive” strikes have left at least three people dead in Lebanon, two in an Israeli bombardment of the town of Al Tiri and one while driving his car in Khiam. The Israeli Navy has urged civilians “located in the areas where Hezbollah operates” to stay away from “danger” for their safety.
According to army spokesman Daniel Hagari, the Israeli air force used about 100 fighter jets to attack thousands of rocket launchers that were allegedly aimed at northern and central Israel, the largest bombardment since the 2007 attack that killed more than 1,000 Lebanese.
In addition, Yoav GalantIsrael’s Defense Minister has military emergency for 48 hoursAs the ministry explained in a statement, this allows the military to “issue instructions to the citizens of Israel, such as limiting gatherings and closing places if relevant.”
Then, from Lebanon, Hezbollah announced the beginning of a large-scale “air raid” with “a large number of drones” aimed at “qualitative Israeli targets” within the territory. According to two statements from the Shiite militia, the first strikes went “as planned,” as they reached bases and military positions both in Israel and in the Golan Heights, occupied by the Zionist state.
Hezbollah said the attacks were a response to “brutal Zionist aggression in the southern suburbs of Beirut” that led to the killing of its top military commander, Fuad Shukr, on July 30.
Initially, Hezbollah indicated that all ongoing operations “will take some time to complete” and stressed that the group “is on the highest state of readiness and will remain strong and vigilant against” any Zionist aggression or violation, especially if it harms civilians,” in which case “the punishment will be very harsh and severe.” The Shiite militia has already ended the attack “for today.”
Netanyahu will “do everything possible to protect the country”
The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahuhas warned that “whoever harms us, we will harm him.” Netayahu stressed that the military has worked “vigorously” to thwart the threats, destroying thousands of missiles and “acting with full force in both defense and attack.”
