The Israeli Defense Forces said they launched airstrikes on multiple Hezbollah positions throughout Lebanon.
IDF believes Hezbollah was preparing for an "imminent" attack on Israel Sunday morning. Thousands of citizens in south Lebanon were urged to evacuate their homes.
"The IDF identified the Hezbollah terrorist organization preparing to fire missiles and rockets toward Israeli territory," IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said. "In response to these threats, the IDF is striking terror targets in Lebanon."
Hagari added that Israeli Air Force fighter jets hit targets belonging to the terror group that posed as a threat to the people of Israel.
According to the IDF, Hezbollah fired at least 210 rockets and approximately 20 drones into northern Israel Sunday morning. 26 civilians and 19 soldiers have been killed by the attacks in Israel.
