Israel has launched a new wave of airstrikes in Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah rocket launchers and other installations. According to Israel Defense Forces (IDF), dozens of Israeli Air Force aircraft are currently striking terrorist targets and rocket launchers to remove the threat to Israeli civilians. IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said the strikes followed reports of Hezbollah’s preparations for significant rocket attacks on Israel. Hagari announced new restrictions for civilians in northern Israel, extending from Haifa northward as regional fighting intensifies. Northern Israeli cities near the Lebanese border such as Haifa, Akko, and Nahariya have reportedly closed their beaches.
