IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says many of Hezbollah’s rockets fired at Israel have fallen short inside Lebanon, including around 80 percent of the projectiles fired yesterday.
“We are continuing to attack and damage Hezbollah’s deployment in southern Lebanon. The area of southern Lebanon will never be the same again,” Hagari says in an evening press conference.
“Throughout the day, several launches from Lebanon into Israel were detected. Many of Hezbollah’s launches fall in Lebanese territory. Eighty percent of Hezbollah’s rockets yesterday fell in Lebanese territory,” he says.
Hagari says Hezbollah terror chief Hassan Nasrallah “is harming the state of Lebanon and endangering its future for the sake of his friends in Hamas, and his patron in Iran.”
