Hezbollah
Hezbollah has attacked the Jewish state nearly every day since Oct. 8.
Former IAF Commander says the air force and intelligence units are closely monitoring enemy arenas for future “surprises.”
Returning the residents of northern Israel to their homes “is a national goal of the highest order,” said the Israeli premier.
The target, Faris Qasim, was responsible for developing the terror group’s operational plans in Syria and Lebanon.
Both Washington and Israel were “closely monitoring the situation” with Hezbollah over the weekend.
Hundreds of launch sites from the attack early Sunday were positioned near mosques, schools, gas stations and U.N. structures.
Israel’s long focus on Iran and the northern front has come at the expense of intelligence gathering and operational attention to Gaza.
However, he cautioned that Iran could still cause a regional escalation.
Even if the Air Force did destroy 6,000 enemy missiles on Sunday, this is less than 3% of their arsenal, Upper Galilee Regional Council chairman tells JNS.
Israel’s preemptive strike against Hezbollah “demonstrates why the Biden-Harris Administration must ... finally implement the new sanctions on Iran that Congress passed this spring,” says the House Speaker.
The terrorist group’s weekend attack “unequivocally demonstrates the presence of illegal weapons in Southern Lebanon,” writes Danny Danon.
The Hezbollah leader claimed that the terror group had successfully targeted the Glilot intelligence base near Tel Aviv by overwhelming Israeli air defenses with hundreds of missiles.
