WhatsappOne day after Israel assassinated one of the highest ranking Hezbollah officials to date, Hezbollah attacked Israel with more than 200 rockets.
“Earlier today (Wednesday), the IDF eliminated the terrorist Muhammad Neamah Naser, the commander of the Hezbollah terrorist organization’s Aziz Unit which is responsible for firing from southwestern Lebanon at Israeli territory,” the IDF stated.
Since the elimination of Naser, rockets and UAVs have been flooding northern Israel at an alarming rate, with many direct hits across the north. This has been the largest group of projectiles fired at Northern Israel since the start of the war. Impacts have caused fires and serious damage from the Golan to Akko.
The IDF confirmed: “Following the sirens that sounded in northern Israel, numerous projectiles and suspicious aerial targets crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory. The IDF Aerial Defense Array and the IAF operated to intercept them and successfully intercepted several targets and projectiles. As a result of UAVs and shrapnel from the interceptions falling in the area, fires broke out in a number of areas in northern Israel. The Israel Fire and Rescue Services are currently operating to extinguish the fires.”
With rumors that the IDF will launch a major invasion of Lebanon in the second half of July, Hezbollah have just decided to attack first.
