IDF says it foiled part of Hezbollah’s response to Shukr killing; braces for drone, missile attacks

The Israeli military says it identified overnight preparations in Hezbollah’s rocket array for a major and immediate attack on Israel. Fighter jets are now working to remove the threat.

The preemptive strikes specifically targeted the sites that would have been used in the attack from southern Lebanon.

The IDF believes the attack would have been part of Hezbollah’s response to the killing of the terror group’s military commander Fuad Shukr last month.

The IDF is tracking other parts of Hezbollah, and is readying for potential drone and even missile attacks on the country.
