Hezbollah said it had begun an attack on Israel with a large number of drones and rockets in response for the killing of its top commander in a Beirut suburb last month.
The Iranian-backed, Lebanon-based group said on Sunday it targeted an identified “special military target” as well as Israel’s Iron Dome platforms and other sites but that the full response would take “some time”, Reuters reports.
Hezbollah will soon fire rockets, and possibly missiles and UAVs [drones], towards Israeli territory.
