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

“IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi has now completed a situational assessment with the General Staff Forum after the attack on the Hezbollah headquarters, and emphasized the IDF’s high preparedness in attack and defense in all sectors,” the military said.

Israel says it targeted Hezbollah leader in strikes on Lebanese capital

Some background: Intense Israeli airstrikes have been targeting the militant group in Lebanon. Monday saw the deadliest day for the country in two decades, when Israeli bombs killed more than 500 people, including women and children, and wounded more than 1,800 others.

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