Israel able to preemptively hit Iran and its allies, but it’s up to politicians, army source says

Israel is capable of launching a preemptive strike against potential threats in Iran, Syria, Lebanon, or Yemen, an unnamed military source tells Sky News Arabic.

However, such a decision is up to the political echelon, the source adds.

The source vows that by the end of the war, Israel’s northern border will be radically different, with a boosted number of soldiers and improved security infrastructure.

Touching on Israel’s preemptive strikes against Hezbollah on Sunday morning, the source says that most of the army’s targets in Lebanon were destroyed by 100 fighter jets.

Israel claims it destroyed hundreds of launchers with dozens of barrels each at 270 sites across southern Lebanon. The source says drones launched by Hezbollah targeting the army’s Glilot intelligence base did not make it past the northern city of Acre or Haifa Bay.
