After rockets were fired on the Haifa area, the IDF spokesperson said, “We are going on the offensive against Hezbollah.”
The Hezbollah terror organization’s decision to fire rockets at the Haifa area overnight Monday means the Iranian proxy in Lebanon “just entered a fight it cannot win,” Israel Defense Forces International Spokesperson, Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, warned on Monday during a call with journalists.
He spoke after Hezbollah fired rockets from south of the Litani River in southern Lebanon, “directly targeting civilians in northern Israel, reaching as far as the Haifa area, despite previous ceasefire understandings that required the terrorist army to withdraw from that zone [southern Lebanon]. Haifa is the largest city in northern Israel,” said Shoshani.
The military had anticipated the scenario of “Hezbollah jumping in to defend its sponsor,” he stated, adding, “The goal of this operation is clear—to eliminate the existential threat posed by the radical Iranian regime and its proxies.”
