30 rocket launchers, 150 nests hit: Footage shows Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon
Beirut: The Israeli military has conducted extensive airstrikes against Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. This operation targeted approximately 30 rocket launchers and 150 infrastructure sites, including military buildings and a weapons warehouse.
In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that the airstrikes were executed under the direction of IDF intelligence, aimed at neutralizing threats posed by Hezbollah. They said that these strikes were necessary to protect Israeli territory.
For the first time since the conflict's escalation, the IDF has instructed residents in northern Israel to limit their movements and stay close to protected areas.
The strikes follow a declaration by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who warned that "retribution will come" in response to recent Israeli attacks that caused significant casualties among Hezbollah members. He stated that Israel had crossed a "red line" with its actions, particularly targeting communication devices used by Hezbollah.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant asserted that Hezbollah would "pay an increasing price" as Israel seeks to ensure the safety of its northern communities. The US State Department has advised American citizens in Lebanon to maintain a low profile and reconsider travel to the country amidst the escalating violence.
