IDF says Hezbollah fired over 300 rockets today, many more attempts foiled by army

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says Hezbollah planned to launch more rockets today, after at least 300 were fired at northern Israel.

“We are foiling, striking, and disrupting its attacks,” he says.

“I won’t go into detail about the data on the Hezbollah capabilities [that the IDF has destroyed]. We have [this data], learning it. I will not detail it, to not endanger our intelligence and not to give the enemy clarity,” Hagari says.

“While this achievement is important… Hezbollah still has more capabilities of different kinds. Our job is to take care of each of them, but first of all, we are focusing on its strategic capabilities that pose a greater risk to the Israeli home front,” he adds.

Asked if Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah is a target, Hagari says, “I won’t get into that issue. Since you’re asking, the chief of staff was asked exactly the same question two days ago and said that not a single person in a terrorist organization is immune.

“I think that’s a very clear answer,” says Hagari.

Asked about the duration of Israel’s operations in Lebanon, Hagari says it aims to keep them “as short as possible, that’s why we’re attacking with great force. At the same time, we must be prepared for it to take longer.”
