At the end of the day (at 11:30 p.m. according to the communiqué), the IDF reported that “approximately 80 shells shot down by a terrorist organization Hezbollah passed from Lebanon to Israel today.
Since Saturday morning, Israel has launched attacks against Lebanese soil with the intention of “hit Hezbollah very hard”. The Israeli army has relentlessly bombarded the area known as Dahye in Beirut’s southern suburbs, considered one of the Lebanese group’s strongholds, where it launched at least three waves of attacks. The coastal city of Tire was also another target of Israeli attacks launched in two different series.
“The attacks targeted a series of military assets belonging to the Aziz unit of Hezbollah, responsible for carrying out attacks against Israel,” detailed the army about the latest wave of attacks launched against Tyre.

“This afternoon, the IAF (Israeli Air Force) carried out its fourth round of intelligence-based strikes against Hezbollah command centers in the Dahieh area, a key Hezbollah terrorist stronghold in Beirut” , notes the military document.
The Israeli army denounces the strategy carried out by Hezbollah using the Lebanese population as “human shields”. For this reason, the IDF maintains that in all its waves of attacks “numerous measures were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including collecting advance intelligence, leveraging aerial surveillance, and issuing advance warnings to the civilian population of the area.
Over the past week, the IDF attacked approximately 50 terrorist targets in the Dahieh area, from where the Hezbollah terrorist organization continues to plan and carry out terrorist attacks against the State of Israel.
On the other hand, at least four drones And More than 50 projectiles were fired from Lebanon against northern Israel this Sunday. The military said the unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted and most of the rockets were intercepted without causing any casualties.
