Hezbollah: ‘First Phase’ Of Response To Shukr’s Killing Complete
Hezbollah launched hundreds of rockets and drones against Israel on Sunday in retaliation for the assassination of Fouad Shukr, a senior commander in Beirut last month, the group said.
Israeli jets hit targets in Lebanon shortly before the strikes as the military assessed that Hezbollah was preparing to begin the barrage, the military said.
Hezbollah said it had launched more than 320 Katyusha rockets towards Israel and hit 11 military targets. It said the barrage had completed “the first phase” of its response to the assassination of Shukr in Beirut’s southern suburbs but that the full response would take “some time.”
