Tel Aviv: A fierce battle broke out between Israel and Lebanon’s extremist group Hezbollah on Sunday morning. Hezbollah attacked Israel with hundreds of rockets on Sunday morning, after which Israel scrambled 100 of its fighter jets into the sky. Hezbollah has said that it has attacked Israel to avenge the killing of its commander Fouad Shukr in Beirut in late July. According to the Jerusalem Post report, Israeli intelligence agencies had come to know that Hezbollah was going to launch the biggest attack of the current war in Tel Aviv and central Israel areas. After this, the IDF attacked Hezbollah’s bases around 5 am, where the extremist group had prepared for the attack.
Hezbollah fired hundreds of rockets
On Sunday morning, Hezbollah claimed that it fired about 320 rockets into northern Israel, including areas such as Safed and Acre and 11 military bases. Hezbollah said that it targeted military bases to ease the path of drones towards their desired targets inside Israel. The extremist group claimed that the drones passed as planned. At the same time, the IDF has indicated that Hezbollah’s success and the amount of attacks were less than it claimed. However, it refused to give detailed information about this and said that doing so would give Hezbollah a chance to prepare itself quickly.
Hezbollah attack foiled
The Israeli military said it had successfully foiled several Hezbollah attacks. However, it did not give any number. Hezbollah has said that it has avenged the killing of the group’s top commander. By the grace of God, the first phase has been completed completely successfully. This phase included targeting Israeli barracks and sites to facilitate the attack drones to go to their intended destinations within Israel. By the grace of Allah, the drones passed as planned.
New guidelines in Israel
The extremist group said the number of rockets fired at enemy targets has exceeded 320. It is not clear how big Hezbollah’s attack would have been if the IDF had not acted earlier. Meanwhile, the IDF has made major changes to its directives on the home front. Restrictions have been imposed on public gatherings, workplaces and education activities from the Upper Galilee south to Tel Aviv. The central and Jerusalem areas south of Tel Aviv have not yet been affected, but Ben Gurion Airport has been temporarily closed in anticipation of the possibility of the situation worsening.
