Hezbollah says it has completed its response to the killing of the terror group’s military commander Fuad Shukr for today, hinting that further responses could come tomorrow.
The terror group claims that the explosive drones it launched from Lebanon flew to their intended targets in Israel. Earlier, Hezbollah also claimed to have fired more than 320 rockets at northern Israel.
Hezbollah also says that Israel’s claims of disrupting its operation with this morning’s preemptive strikes in southern Lebanon “contradict the facts on the ground and will be refuted” by the terror group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah later today.
