Israel preemptively launches attacks on Lebanon, warns of Hezbollah response
The offensive Israeli forces say they've launched pre-emptive strikes on presumed Hezbollah positions after, accusing the armed group of preparing to launch an extensive attack.
There's been concern in recent weeks that Hezbollah, along with Iran, were planning to retaliate after Israel's illegal assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Inran, and a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut.
Israeli Army Radio and The Times of Israel are reporting that residents of northern Israel have been warned to take cover as air raid sirens blared in the Western Galilee, Acre, Kiryat Shmona, and other areas.
Israeli Army spokesman Daniel Hagari is trying to claim that Israel is attacking in advance in "self-defense" against Hezbollah.
Hezbollah says it began the attack on Israel with a large number of drones in response to its top military commander Fuad Shukr's assassination in Beirut last month.

The Israeli military is preemptively striking Lebanon [and likely killing innocent civilians] in a new series of war crimes that began a few hours ago.
Its excuse is that it says these preemptive bombings are on “terror targets in Lebanon” after thinking that Hezbollah was “preparing to fire missiles and rockets toward Israeli territory” because Israel, against international law, assassinated a military official in another country, provoking the region.

“A short while ago, the IDF identified [?] the Hezbollah terrorist organization preparing to fire missiles and rockets toward Israeli territory,” Israel Defense Force spokesperson Daniel Hagari said early Sunday local time.

“In a self-defense act [that in no way can be called an internationally condemned war crime, except by the International Court of Justice] to remove these [imagined] threats [after we struck them], the IDF is striking terror targets in Lebanon [to start the fight], from which [we think] Hezbollah was planning to launch their attacks on Israeli civilians,” Hagari added.
The IDF said approximately 200 rockets had been launched from Lebanon towards Israel early Sunday.
Flights from Israel's Tel Aviv airport will be temporarily suspended Sunday morning, the airport authority said, after the Israeli military said it is conducting preemptive strikes on Lebanon [to kill civilians and anyone else that is to become "collateral" damage from the IDF's aggressive war crimes].

The Golan Regional Council has instructed all residents in the Israeli-illegally-occupied Golan Heights to remain near shelters until further notice, canceling agricultural, educational, and other public activity.
The Israeli military and [someone in Lebanon we think is] Hezbollah have been exchanging fire for months, and the cross-border hostilities have raised the specter of a regional conflagration which have prompted intense diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions.

Rocket fire toward Israel by Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon has become a near-daily occurrence since the outbreak of war in Gaza, but there has been an increasing number of skirmishes.
On Friday, Hezbollah had claimed 15 strikes against Israel. Hezbollah also acknowledged the death of seven fighters on Friday but did not specify where or when they were killed.
The IDF said a total of 110 projectiles were launched from Lebanon towards Israel on Friday, marking one of the fiercest days of cross-border fire in recent weeks.
