Israel launched intensive attacks deep inside Lebanon
The Israeli army revealed, on Saturday, the reason for launching intensive and extensive raids in southern Lebanon, during the past hours.
Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a tweet on his official account on the “X” platform: “In the last hour, we are launching extensive raids in southern Lebanon after monitoring Hezbollah’s preparations to launch rockets towards Israeli territory.”
He added: “Dozens of warplanes are attacking terrorist targets and missile platforms to eliminate threats to Israeli citizens.”
He continued: “We are launching raids systematically and stripping Hezbollah of its ability to launch rockets towards Israel in addition to eliminating its leaders and members.”
In a separate tweet, Adraee noted that “due to the assessment of the situation and our military operations, the Minister of Defense declared a special situation on the home front, and therefore we have changed the shelter policy on the home front from the Haifa area north to the shelter policy 2, which means that in the Haifa area and north it is permissible to hold educational activities and go out to work centers in places.” He added: “We are ready for the next steps and remain in a state of high readiness offensively and defensively. Air Force planes are armed and ready to attack everywhere. Air defense systems remain deployed and ready to intercept threats.”
