The Israel Defense Forces carried out a wave of airstrikes against some 110 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon Saturday night, including rocket launchers, with the army saying it had identified preparations by the terror group to launch major rocket attacks against Israel.
The strikes came after several waves of attacks on Hezbollah sites in Lebanon earlier in the day, which the IDF said hit some 290 Hezbollah targets, including rocket launchers and other facilities.
In all, thousands of rocket launcher barrels were hit in the strikes, the IDF said, while vowing to continue striking Hezbollah to “dismantle and degrade” Hezbollah’s capabilities.
The latest Israel strikes came after fighter jets struck some 180 targets in southern Lebanon on Saturday afternoon, taking out thousands of rocket launcher barrels that were primed for imminent attacks on Israel, according to the IDF.
At the same time, officials issued new restrictions on residents of the Haifa area and northward as the country braced for the possibility of a large-scale assault by the Lebanese terror group in the coming hours, after it suffered heavy blows in multiple attacks in recent days.
