ACADEMY SITREP – ISRAEL CONDUCTS PREEMPTIVE STRIKE AGAINST HEZBOLLAH TO THWART LARGER ATTACK August 25, 2024 | https://lnkd.in/eRkQ8C6s What has Happened: -Early this morning, the IDF struck over 40 targets in Lebanon destroying thousands of rockets/launchers with about 100 jet fighters after it detected that Hezbollah was preparing for a major attack against northern and central Israel. -Following the pre-emptive strikes, Hezbollah fired over 300 rockets and drones into northern Israel targeting military facilities, but many of these munitions were intercepted. -Israel had been bracing for weeks for Hezbollah to retaliate for the killing of senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut on July 30th. -Hezbollah stated that the attack was successful, and its military operation had “finished for the day,” but there was little evidence of any major damage (however there was one confirmed Israeli military fatality and limited reports of injuries). -While the IDF said that it was still carrying out air attacks against Hezbollah targets, the situation seems to be de-escalating. -The strikes this morning do not seem to have affected the ceasefire talks that continued today with mediators from the United States, Egypt, and Qatar meeting in Cairo with an Israeli delegation.
