The IDF says it has detected preparations by Hezbollah to launch rockets and missiles and is preemptively striking in Lebanon “to remove the threat,” Times of Israel reported.
Fighter jets are striking Hezbollah targets that “posed an imminent threat to the citizens of the State of Israel,” the army says, adding that “life-saving instructions” will be sent out in some parts of the country.
Alarms are meanwhile sounding in several northern communities.
In a video statement, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says: “A short while ago, the IDF identified the Hezbollah terrorist organization preparing to fire missiles and rockets toward Israeli territory.”
“In a self-defense act to remove these threats, the IDF is striking terror targets in Lebanon, from which Hezbollah was planning to launch their attacks on Israeli civilians,” he says.
“Hezbollah will soon fire rockets, and possibly missiles and UAVs, towards Israeli territory. We will shortly update the Home Front Command Defensive guidelines for those in Israel,” Hagari continues.
Activity at Ben Gurion Airport has been suspended for the next few hours.
The Israel Airports Authority stated, “Due to the security situation, the departures this morning from Ben Gurion Airport will be delayed, and will not take off in the next few hours.
Flights en route to Ben Gurion Airport will be directed to alternative airports in the region. It is recommended that the traveling public keep up to date with the various airlines on changes in schedules.

That’s exactly what the rebbe said to do
Full Power, Total/complete enemy destruction NOW

Hopefully the state of Israel will finally defend its sovereignty in all borders:, and stop accepting an unacceptable situation of terrorist groups attacking us and be given gifts in exchange for ceasefires while they rearm. No. We must finish them off. No more of this discussion of surrendering territory to Hezbollah’s extortion. They need to be disarmed by force and thereafter, whoever fires upon our country should be eliminated. No longer can the attacks on our country proceed in silence. No longer can that become a new normal.
