The IDF on Saturday night issued new home front restrictions on Haifa and any part of the country northward in anticipation of a potential large Hezbollah attack, following Israel’s attacks over the weekend against over 400 Hezbollah rocket launchers and many thousands of rockets.
Since Thursday, the military has carried out at least three major waves of attacks, each of which destroyed a hundred or more rocket launchers, including one over Thursday-Friday and two on Saturday.
According to the IDF, these attacks are heavily harming Hezbollah's ability and attempts to attack Israel.
At the same time, the Lebanese-based terrorist group still maintains a massive arsenal, including SCUD missiles, other long range precision rockets that can potentially hit all of Israel, medium range rockets that can hit Haifa and northward, and short range rockets and drones that it has used to ravage the Upper Galilee and Golan Heights for nearly a year.
All of this is occurring in the context of the IDF having killed Hezbollah Radwan chief Ibrahim Akil and around 16 other commanders, as well as accusations by Hezbollah that Israel exploded devices across Lebanon on Tuesday-Wednesday which injured between 3,000 and 4,000 Hezbollah fighters and commanders, killing dozens.
