Israeli Air Force hits over 400 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon

Israeli Air Force (IAF) fighter jets conducted massive airstrikes on Hezbollah targets across Lebanon on Monday morning to prevent the Iranian-backed terror army from firing rockets across the border.

As of Monday afternoon, the IAF had attacked more than 400 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Alongside the update, the army published a video of Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi approving the attacks from the military’s underground command room at the Israel Defence Forces headquarters in Tel Aviv.

IDF spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari warned that the IAF strikes would continue in the immediate timeframe, and criticized Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, accusing the terror leader of “dragging Lebanon and the entire region into escalation.”
