The Israeli army detected around 210 rockets and about 20 explosive drones launched by Hezbollah to the north of Israelwhere some projectiles hit causing minor damage, although most were intercepted.
The Shiite group Hezbollah said it had launched more than 320 rockets and drones towards Israel in revenge for the killing of its top military commander, Fuad Shukron July 30 in Beirut, a retaliation that “has been completed and achieved for today.”
Israel launched a massive air strike early in the morning with more than 100 fighter planes attacking 40 Hezbollah positions and thousands of launchers, which were aimed at the north and center of the Hebrew country, to repel this response from the Shiites, who detected when it was going to be carried out.
Israeli authorities believe the Lebanese group targeted intelligence bases and the headquarters of the Mossad, the foreign security service, in central Israel.
