Israel thwarted major Hezbollah attack on Mossad HQ and IDF bases; Iron dome intercepted most rockets fired …

Israel thwarted a major Hezbollah attack that was aiming to hit their Mossad headquarters and 11 IDF bases, among many other targets.
According to the news, 100 Israeli fighter jets simultaneously hit thousands of rocket launchers last night in Lebanon which were mostly aimed at southern Israel.
Hezbollah still fired hundreds of rockets and around twenty drones, but most were intercepted by the Iron Dome. Some impacted and caused damage and injury.
Here’s more from the Times of Israel:
Israeli fighter jets simultaneously struck thousands of Hezbollah targets across southern Lebanon early Sunday morning, in what the military said was a preemptive operation against weaponry that was about to be used in a major attack on central and northern Israel.
Thousands of Hezbollah rocket launchers were struck simultaneously by some 100 IAF fighter jets in the preemptive attacks, the military said.
While central Israel, including Tel Aviv, was in the terror group’s crosshairs, the majority of the Hezbollah rocket launchers struck by the Israeli Air Force were aimed at the north, according to the IDF.
The strikes did not prevent the Iran-backed terror organization from beginning what it said was its response to the killing of its military commander Fuad Shukr in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut last month, with Hezbollah claiming it fired over 320 rockets and drones at northern Israel.
According to the IDF, some 210 rockets and some 20 drones were launched from Lebanon at northern Israel in Hezbollah’s attack. Some of the projectiles were intercepted, while others impacted, causing damage and injuries. Many rockets also struck open areas.
The Israel Defense Forces said it had identified overnight preparations in Hezbollah’s rocket array for a major and immediate attack on Israel. Fighter jets began to “remove the threat” shortly before 5 a.m.
The preemptive strikes specifically targeted the sites in southern Lebanon that would have been used in the attack, according to the IDF.
The IDF believed the attack would have been part of Hezbollah’s response to the killing of Shukr. Hezbollah itself later confirmed to have begun its response to the killing of its top commander, but did not mention the IDF’s preemptive strikes.
Hezbollah said it fired more than 320 rockets at northern Israel early Sunday morning along with several explosive-laden drones. The launches came after the IDF’s strikes.
In a statement, Hezbollah claimed to have targeted 11 military bases in northern Israel.
The Jerusalem Post is the news agency reporting that the Hezbollah was also targeting the Mossad HQ and IDF headquarters:
Hezbollah has listed 11 bases it said it targeted, but it and the IDF have also implied that it was also hoping to target Mossad headquarters and IDF headquarters.
The Jerusalem Post understands that measures were even taken in advance to reduce the likelihood of casualties had such attacks taken place.
Those attacks would have been part of an attack of somewhere between several hundred and potentially even thousands of rockets all over northern Israel, with also a smaller number targeting the Tel Aviv and central Israel regions.
In a later announcement, IDF spokesperson said, “We thwarted most of the attack Hezbollah had planned and intercepted the majority of threats launched towards Israel.” They further emphasized that no IDF military bases or other strategic targets in central Israel were hit.
Below is video of the Iron Dome making many interceptions of rockets fired by Hezbollah:

It does appear that Israel was successful in preventing most of the attack by Hezbollah and that’s awesome. Otherwise it sounds like the Iron Dome would have been overwhelmed by thousands of rockets and drones being fired from Lebanon and who knows how much damage there would have been had they not done so.
