Jerusalem: The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah announced early Sunday that it had launched an attack on Israel with a large number of drones in retaliation for the killing of one of its commanders in Beirut.
Hezbollah said the attack was targeting "a qualitative Israeli military target that will be announced later" as well as "targeting a number of enemy sites and barracks and Iron Dome platforms."
It said the strikes were an initial response to the killing of Fouad Shukur, a top commander with the group, in a strike in Beirut's southern suburbs last month.
The Israeli military earlier announces its own strikes on Hezbollah sites in Lebanon, saying the militant group was preparing an attack on Israel.
