Hezbollah planned a large-scale attack on Israel, intending to launch approximately 6,000 rockets and drones targeting Tel Aviv and other areas at 5:00 a.m. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) preemptively struck Hezbollah's positions at around 4:45 a.m., thwarting the attack. The operation involved about 100 Israeli fighter jets, which targeted over 200 Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon. The Israeli Air Force's preemptive action was crucial in preventing the planned assault, which included precision-guided missiles aimed at central Israel, including Ben Gurion Airport.
