The IDF said that Hezbollah’s massive strike on Israel Sunday morning was largely carried out from civilian areas, including sites near mosques, schools and UN compounds.
"In response to Hezbollah's preparation for launching missiles and rockets aimed at northern and central Israel, the IDF targeted immediate threats posed by the terror organization," a statement read.
"Approximately 230 launches and 20 aerial targets that crossed into Israeli territory were identified during the strike. Hezbollah continues to embed its terror infrastructure within civilian areas, using Lebanese civilians as human shields."
