Jerusalem boosts its defensive posture along the border as strikes on Hezbollah targets intensify after the Iranian proxy joins the fight.
There will be no further evacuation of northern communities, said the IDF chief of staff.
Even after the severe blow dealt to Iran, and despite its rhetoric, the logic currently driving Hezbollah is survival—military, political and communal.
After rockets were fired on the Haifa area, the IDF spokesperson said, “We are going on the offensive against Hezbollah.”
The Shi’ite terrorist group’s attacks on Israel violate “the will of the majority of the Lebanese people,” Nawaf Salam said.
The Iranian-backed terrorist group fired rockets at Israel overnight Sunday.
Israeli military says killing the supreme leader in Tehran crowns operations that removed Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthi and senior Iranian terror chiefs since Oct. 7.
“Hezbollah opened a campaign against Israel overnight and is fully responsible for any escalation,” said IDF chief Eyal Zamir.
“We’re certain that the enemy will be dealt a major blow,” Hezbollah said.
The IDF strike targeted infrastructure of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force.
The IDF said the action aimed to prevent the terrorist group from rearming in violation of the ceasefire understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
Israel reportedly told Lebanon via intermediaries that it would hit civilian infrastructure, including Beirut airport, if Hezbollah joins a U.S.-Iran war.
