The IDF publishes several infographics that it says show Hezbollah rocket launch sites used in yesterday’s attack on northern Israel.
Some 230 rockets and about 20 drones were fired in the attack.
According to the IDF, 90 percent of the rockets launched yesterday morning were fired from civilian areas.
“The Hezbollah terrorist organization places its terrorist infrastructure in the middle of the civilian population, using Lebanese civilians as human shields,” the military says.
Israeli officials say that Hezbollah planned to fire hundreds more, and the IDF’s preemptive strike took out more than half of the intended threats.
The rockets were aimed at northern Israel and the drones at central Israel, including the Glilot base.
No IDF bases were hit in the attack, and none of the drones made it to central Israel.
