Israeli media reported that the Israeli military launched a preemptive strike against the Lebanese Shiite Islamic militant group Hezbollah.
According to The Times of Israel on the 25th (local time), the Israeli military announced that day, “fighters are striking Hezbollah targets that pose a threat to Israeli citizens, and life-saving instructions will be sent to some areas.”
“Recently, the Israeli military identified Hezbollah members preparing to launch missiles and rockets toward Israeli territory,” the Israeli military said. “In self-defense to eliminate this threat, the Israeli military is striking terror targets in Lebanon from where Hezbollah planned to launch attacks against Israeli civilians.” “We are acting in self-defense against Hezbollah and other adversaries involved in attacks against us, and we are prepared to do whatever is necessary to defend the Israeli people,” it said.
On the 23rd, Hezbollah bombed an Israeli air force base. According to Al-Zara and the Jerusalem Post, Hezbollah fired several rockets and missiles that morning at the Meron Air Force Base in northern Israel, about 8km south of the Lebanese border. On the 20th, about 50 rockets were fired in two waves at northern Israel. Hezbollah said at the time that it was “in retaliation for the Israeli military’s airstrike on the eastern region the day before (the 19th).”
