Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that drones launched by Hezbollah to attack a strategic target in central Israel were successfully intercepted by the country's military. The specific target of the attack was not disclosed by Netanyahu.
Netanyahu revealed that the Israel Defense Forces conducted a preemptive strike on Hezbollah sites in Lebanon overnight. This operation aimed to eliminate thousands of rockets that were allegedly intended to harm Israeli citizens and forces.
The recent escalation between Israel and Hezbollah began when Israel carried out strikes against the Islamist militant group. Israel claimed that Hezbollah was preparing to launch a barrage of missiles and rockets at Israeli targets, a charge that Hezbollah denies.
Netanyahu's message indicated a possibility of further conflict, stating that the events of the day were not the conclusion of the situation. He emphasized, 'I repeat, this is not the end of the matter.'
