Israel launches preemptive strike on Hezbollah in Lebanon, IDF says
Briefly

IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari stated that a preemptive strike was launched on Hezbollah after identifying preparations for missile attacks against Israeli territory. This act was to remove immediate threats.
"In a self-defense act to remove these threats, the IDF is striking terror targets in Lebanon, from which Hezbollah was planning to launch their attacks on Israeli civilians," said Hagari.
As a result of the escalating security situation, flights from Tel Aviv were delayed and diverted to alternative airports, reflecting the growing instability in the region.
Heightened tensions have been apparent in recent weeks with fears of a broader conflict following the deaths of senior military figures from both Hezbollah and Hamas in targeted operations by Israel.
