An Israeli official said the IDF conducted strikes on long-range missiles Hezbollah prepared to launch at Israel. The official said the missiles were intended to be launched toward central Israel at 5:00 a.m. local time and were destroyed in the Israeli airstrikes several minutes before then. The IDF said Hezbollah fired more than 200 rockets in two hours. Hezbollah said the “large-scale air attack” was directed at “a specific Israeli military target to be announced later, and against several enemy sites with a large number of missiles and drones.” “These military operations will take some time to complete, after which a detailed announcement will be issued about their progress and goals,” the statement from Hezbollah continued.
