The IDF releases new footage showing this morning’s airstrikes in southern Lebanon, a drone being intercepted by an attack helicopter and an F-35 fighter jet being refueled over Lebanon.

Hezbollah managed to launch 210 rockets and some 20 drones from Lebanon at northern and central Israel in the early hours of Sunday, according to the IDF.

Earlier Sunday, more than 100 Israeli fighter jets simultaneously struck thousands of Hezbollah rocket launchers and drones across southern Lebanon early Sunday morning, in what the military said was a preemptive operation against weaponry that was about to be used in a major attack on central and northern Israel.
