The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) launched airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, destroying 1,000 rocket launcher barrels. The operation targeted 100 launchers poised to fire on Israeli territory. This retaliatory strike follows Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah's threat of "tough retribution" for recent attacks on the group's communication infrastructure. The IDF's action comes amidst heightened tensions in the region. The strikes demonstrate Israel's resolve to protect its territory and citizens from militant threats.
