Lebanon-based terrorist group Hezbollah and Israel have both announced large-scale military operations against each other. According to a statement by the Iran-backed group Hezbollah, several explosive drone attacks have been carried out targeting key Israeli military sites. Hezbollah said it fired 'more than 320' Katyusha rockets at Israel.
In response to this threat, the Israeli army launched pre-emptive strikes on targets in Lebanon. The IDF announced these attacks on Sunday morning, saying that they had detected preparations for large-scale attacks on Israeli territory by Hezbollah.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said in a social media post on X, 'Hezbollah has launched more than 150 projectiles from Lebanon towards Israeli territory, which were destroyed by the Iron Dome.' It also said: 'We target terrorist infrastructure, they target civilians.'
This escalation in the fighting follows weeks of rising tensions. It comes after Hezbollah and its regional ally Iran vowed to avenge the killing of its military commander Fuad Shukr last month. The group has described the attack on its commander as a direct provocation and an act of war.
Over 100 projectiles have been fired at Israelis since this morning.
