Israeli fighter jets have conducted extensive airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, destroying over 100 rocket launchers, which contained around 1,000 barrels primed for immediate attacks on Israel. The strikes, described as some of the most intense since the escalation of hostilities following the October 7 attacks on Gaza, were aimed at degrading Hezbollah's military capabilities. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized the continuation of military operations against Hezbollah, while the IDF confirmed that these actions are part of a larger strategy to protect Israel. The airstrikes came in response to prior rocket barrages from Lebanon, which resulted in casualties among IDF soldiers. Meanwhile, international calls for a ceasefire have emerged, as tensions remain high in the region. Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has vowed retaliation against Israel following the recent attacks on the group's infrastructure.
