Hezbollah launched approximately 200 projectiles at the Jewish state as part of what it dubbed “Operation Al-‘Asf al-Ma‘kul.”
The IDF overnight announced “wide-scale strikes” in Lebanon and Tehran.
The attack from the Iran-backed terrorist group in Lebanon prompted Israeli airstrikes on launch sites and damage across the Galilee.
The terror group lashed out at Israel “not to protect Lebanon. Not to protect Lebanese citizens. But to serve the agenda of the Iranian regime,” Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon said.
“We are deepening the damage to its capabilities with each passing day and increasing the pressure on it,” said IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin.
Hassan Salameh was killed in a targeted Israeli Air Force strike in the Jwaya area of the Tyre District.
His son, Binya Hevron, remained “strong and determined,” and “with God’s help, after rehabilitation and dedicated treatment, he will recover and return to us and to the IDF,” said Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich.
“Hezbollah joined the war following Iranian pressure, as it did on Oct. 8,” the top diplomat tweeted.
The IAF strikes were carried out “to further deepen Hezbollah’s military degradation,” the military said.
The Iranian-backed terror organization cynically exploits civilian infrastructure in Southern Lebanon, the IDF said.
The IDF has yet to confirm any laser usage, as Iron Dome appears to be handling Hezbollah’s rockets and drones.
A declassified call of intelligence officers from Unit 504 showed a Lebanese resident’s disdain reserved for the Iranian-backed terror group.
