As of yet, around 300 Hezbollah targets had been hit, according to Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee, who earlier warned that raids on Lebanon’s homes—where “Hezbollah hid weapons”—were likely.
Israel has launched its largest-ever airstrikes on Hezbollah, striking hundreds of locations around Lebanon, in a remarkable uptick in military activity, according to Reuters.
Lebanese sources claim that 182 people have died as a result of the most recent onslaught, which took place during some of the most severe cross-border skirmishes in almost a year. As Israel turns its attention to its northern border, there has been an increase in fighting.
“We are deepening our attacks in Lebanon, and these actions will continue until we can ensure the safe return of residents in the north,” declared Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in a speech to the country. He emphasized the government’s dedication to defending its inhabitants while pleading with the populace to maintain composure in these trying times.
More than 300 Hezbollah sites have been hit, according to Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee, who also issued a warning about impending airstrikes on residential areas where the militant group is thought to be keeping weapons. He underlined that in order to undermine Hezbollah’s military capabilities, these actions are crucial.
In retaliation, Hezbollah has launched a series of rockets aimed at Israeli military posts. The increased Israeli airstrikes have pressured the group, which recently faced a significant setback, described by Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah as a major blow to the organization’s history.
Thousands of communication devices used by Hezbollah members exploded in an attack widely attributed to Israel, although Israeli officials have not confirmed or denied their involvement.
