100 fighter jets, 120 targets… Israel launches deadly attack on Hezbollah targets | News India

According to the IDF, the aim of the airstrike was to destroy Hezbollah's command and control and firing capabilities. Besides, these air strikes were also carried out with the aim of helping the soldiers involved in Israel's ground operations to achieve their objectives. On one hand, Israel was celebrating the anniversary of the October 7 attack, while on the other hand, its army was fighting on many fronts. Israel expanded its ground operations into Lebanon and the IDF's 3rd Division also joined the battle.

Hamas targets commemorative events in Israel

Hamas fired rockets targeting commemorative events in Israel to mourn the October 7 attacks and vowed to continue its war against Israel. However, a devastating 12-month Israeli offensive into Gaza has significantly reduced Hamas' ability to fire rockets. Let us tell you that about 42,000 people have been killed in the Gaza war. Israel periodically claims that it has effectively defeated Hamas in Gaza.

Lebanon fired more than 130 rockets at Israel

Despite Israel's increasing military action, Hezbollah fired more than 130 rockets throughout the day on Monday. Most of these rockets were fired at Haifa, Israel's third largest city. As evening fell, a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis from Yemen was shot down in the air by Israel's Iron Dome air defense system. The Israeli military said some rockets fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon were intercepted and destroyed by Iron Dome, while the rest fell in vacant areas.

There is a possibility of war intensifying in this area. Because Israel has vowed to respond to a major missile attack by Iran last week. Israel can launch a major retaliatory attack against Iran at any time. Tehran has reiterated that it will respond to any Israeli attack on its soil. There is a possibility of America also getting involved in this growing conflict. It provides significant military and diplomatic assistance to Israel. And if Iran attacks Israel again, the United States may enter this war to defend the Jewish state.
