Since launching its widespread airstrikes in Lebanon yesterday morning, the IDF says it has targeted some 400 medium-range rocket launchers, 70 weapon depots, and some 80 drones and cruise missiles.
They are among more than 1,500 Hezbollah targets hit in some 200 different areas of Lebanon, the military says. Most of the strikes have targeted homes where Hezbollah had stored munitions, according to the IDF.
Over 250 fighter jets have participated in the strikes, dropping some 2,000 munitions, the military adds.
The IDF says it will continue to strike Hezbollah to destroy its capabilities and “change the security reality in the north.”
Israel’s top army commander tells troops: “Your entry will show Hezbollah what it’s like to meet a professional combat force,” as he touts a “possible” ground invasion of southern Lebanon.
Israel calls up two additional reserve brigades to the northern border as it continues its massive bombing campaign across Lebanon, killing hundreds of people and displacing more than 90,000.
Hezbollah says it fired a ballistic missile targeting Mossad’s headquarters near Tel Aviv.
Foreign ministers of Egypt, Iraq and Jordan condemn Israel’s “aggression” against Lebanon, warning it’s “pushing the region towards all-out war”.
