Israel Pounds Hezbollah: Strikes 1,300+ Targets Killing Hundreds, Destroying Thousands Of Missiles

 The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) significantly escalated their strikes against the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon on Monday, striking well over a thousand targets that present a serious threat to Israel.

The strikes against Hezbollah have rapidly increased over the last week as Israeli leaders push to return tens of thousands to their homes in northern Israel after they were displaced following daily rocket, missile, and drone attacks from Hezbollah after Hamas’ October 7 attacks last year.

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the Israeli Air Force has hit more than 1,300 Hezbollah targets so far today and is still launching new strikes that are continuing to target “cruise missiles that can reach hundreds of kilometers, heavy rockets with a 1,000-kilogram warhead, medium-range rockets that reach a range of up to 200 kilometers, short-range rockets, and armed unmanned aerial vehicles.”

More than 490 people, estimated to be mostly terrorists, were killed in the airstrikes on Monday with more than 1,600 sustaining injuries, according to the latest statistics released by the Lebanese government.

Secondary explosions were seen at many of the sites that the IDF targeted, indicating the presence of rockets and missiles that were detonating.
