Israel says it is prepared to attack and defend itself “in all sectors”

The Israeli military has “high preparedness in attack and defense in all sectors,” according to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released shortly after it carried out a major airstrike in Beirut against the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.

“The IDF Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, has now concluded a situational assessment with the General Staff Forum following the attack on Hezbollah headquarters and emphasized the IDF’s high preparedness in attack and defense throughout sectors,” said the military.

Intense Israeli airstrikes have targeted the militant group in Lebanon. Monday (23) was the deadliest day for the country in two decades, when Israeli bombs killed more than 500 people, including women and children, and injured more than 1,800 others.

Israel has focused most of its offensive on southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah is strongest, but has also carried out two airstrikes on the Harbata plain in the Baalbek district in northern Lebanon.
