Nasrallah: Our main target was Glilot base, home to Unit 8200

In a speech following an Israeli pre-emptive strike in Lebanon this morning, Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah says that the terror group intended to send drones to target the Glilot military base, where the army’s 8200 intelligence unit is headquartered.
The base is located “very deep” inside Israeli territory, Nasrallah boasts, and very close to Tel Aviv.
The terror group intended to launch 300 Katyusha rockets on different military sites in various parts of Israel to keep Israel’s Iron Dome aerial defense system busy, so that its drones could make their way to Glilot, Nasrallah says.
He insists that Hezbollah only targeted military objectives, not civilian ones.
