Hizbullah Claims Attack on Israel Was Success

(Times of Israel) Gianluca Pacchiani - Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah claimed on Sunday that the attempted massive attack on Israel, which was largely thwarted, had been completed "as planned" and caused "great disruptions" inside Israel. He claimed that Hizbullah fired over 320 Katyusha rockets on 11 different military sites and then launched dozens of drones at central Israel. "According to our intelligence, the drones reached their target....We achieved and surpassed our objectives." Nasrallah denied that the IDF had conducted a preemptive attack, and that it did not destroy Hizbullah's ballistic missiles. He noted that Hizbullah's attack took place on a date of particular religious significance for Shiites, the Arbaeen, marking 40 days after the Ashura, which commemorates the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali, grandson of Muhammad and the third Shia imam.
