IDF states about 230 launches and 20 aerial targets were identified crossing into Israeli territory on Sunday morning when Israel launched its pre-emptive strike, 90% of which were launched from ‘heart of a civilian area.’
The IDF stated that early Sunday morning, following the detection of preparations by Hezbollah to launch missiles and rockets aimed toward the north and the center of the State of Israel, the IDF struck Hezbollah targets that posed an immediate threat.
During the strike, about 230 launches and 20 aerial targets were identified crossing into Israeli territory.
“The Hezbollah terrorist organization places its terrorist infrastructure in the middle of the civilian population while using Lebanese civilians as human shields. 90% of the launches were from the heart of a civilian area, near civilian facilities such as mosques, schools, UN sites, etc,” the IDF stated.
