“Despite Hezbollah’s claims, no damage was done to IDF bases, in the north or in the center,” Hagari said.

The Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, said that the main targets of the militia are the Israeli military base Glilot and Ein Shemer Airport.

Hagari pointed out that most of Hezbollah’s missiles and drones were intercepted or crashed in open areas.

Austin informed Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant of the decision in a phone call on Sunday, where they discussed the strikes.
