IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the military continues to thwart Hezbollah’s prepared attacks on the country.

“We are removing threats to the Israeli home front. Dozens of planes are now attacking targets in different areas of southern Lebanon,” Hagari says in a press conference.

“Hezbollah is firing rockets and drones at Israel. Our air defense systems, Navy ships and Air Force planes are protecting the country’s skies, identifying and intercepting threats, and striking anywhere in Lebanon, where it is necessary to remove threats and hit Hezbollah,” he says.
