Pro-Hezbollah outlet claims attack completely successful, Israeli preemptive strike failed
The pro-Hezbollah Al-Mayadeen news station reports that Hezbollah’s reprisal against Israel for the assassination of top commander Fuad Shukr was carried out exactly as it was supposed to.
The report denies Israel’s claim that its preemptive strike on rocket launchers was effective. Such claims were purely directed at the Israeli public, the report says.
The report claims explosive drones hit a “high-value military target,” without providing details.
A Hezbollah statement quoted by Lebanese media says two military sites in central Israel were struck. The IDF and Hebrew media outlets have not reported such an incident.
