IDF Carries Out "Wide-Scale" Airstrikes on Hizbullah as Rockets from Lebanon Hit North
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - The IDF carried out "wide-scale" strikes against Hizbullah targets Sunday after barrages of rockets from Lebanon targeted multiple communities in northern Israel. Israeli planes hit military buildings, rocket launchers, and other infrastructure, while artillery shelled sources of fire. Israeli communities close to the frontier with Lebanon have been largely evacuated of civilians since October. A senior Israeli defense source told Walla that with "the extent of the [IDF] forces that have been positioned on the border from the beginning of the fighting," Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah has been denied the element of "surprise he was thinking of....At the same time, the IDF is planning a strong and multi-layered line of fortifications to deny its [Hizbullah] capabilities in the future. It will not be the same border after what we saw happen at the border of Gaza. It will be a different border."
