Israel was ready to destroy Hezbollah missile program if soldier hit – report
An Israel Defense Forces source tells Channel 12 that Israel was prepared for a massive retaliation against Hezbollah’s precision missile system in Lebanon, which was only averted by the fact that no Israeli soldiers were hurt in yesterday’s attack.
“The fact that [Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah missed and didn’t kill any Israeli saved Hezbollah from the destruction of its precision missile program,” the source says. “The planes were already in the air.”
According to Channel 12, IAF jets reportedly flew over the Mediterranean in preparation for the counter-strike.
