Tel Aviv: On Thursday, Israel launched a significant number of airstrikes on Lebanon targeting Hezbollah, making it to be one of the most intense bombardments.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) stated that they have conducted strikes in Lebanon aimed at degrading Hezbollah’s terrorist capabilities and infrastructure. As per the IDF targeted almost 30 launchers, 150 nests and several other buildings.
“With the direction of IDF intelligence, the IAF struck approximately 30 Hezbollah launchers and terrorist infrastructure sites, containing approximately 150 launcher barrels that were ready to fire projectiles toward Israeli territory,” the IDF said in post on X.
“Additionally, the IDF struck Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure and a weapons storage facility in multiple areas in southern Lebanon,” the IDF added in the post.
This comes as the leader of Hezbollah said that deadly Israeli attacks that blew up Hezbollah radios and pagers crossed all red lines and called it a declaration of war.
Lebanon and Hezbollah have blamed Israel for attacks on Hezbollah’s communications equipment that killed 37 people and wounded around 3,000, overwhelming Lebanese hospitals and wreaking bloody havoc on Hezbollah.
Israel has not directly commented on the attacks, which security sources say were probably carried out by its Mossad spy agency. Meanwhile, the attacks on Hezbollah communications equipment sowed fear across Lebanon, with people abandoning electronic devices for fear of carrying bombs in their pockets
“There is no doubt that we have been subjected to a major security and military blow that is unprecedented in the history of the resistance and unprecedented in the history of Lebanon,” Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said in his TV address, filmed at an undisclosed location.
“This type of killing, targeting and crime may be unprecedented in the world,” he said, appearing in front of a featureless red background in his customary black turban.
The attacks “crossed all red lines”, he said. “The enemy went beyond all controls, laws and morals,” he said adding the attacks “could be considered war crimes or a declaration or war, they could be called anything and they deserve to be called anything. Of course that was the intention of the enemy.”
