Hezbollah has strongly refuted Israel's claims of having conducted a successful preemptive strike on its missile capabilities in southern Lebanon. The Israeli government had alleged that it destroyed thousands of missiles and missile launchers in a series of airstrikes. However, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah dismissed these assertions as false, stating that Israel's claims contradict the facts on the ground. Nasrallah further denied that Israel had intercepted Hezbollah's offensive drones or targeted any long-range strategic missiles. He also criticized the Israeli narrative as a disinformation campaign, asserting that the claims of thwarting an attack involving 6,000 to 8,000 missiles and drones are baseless.
