The Israeli military reported today, Saturday, that it has struck more than 50 Hezbollah targets inside Syria since the outbreak of the war in the Gaza Strip. This statement was made by Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari, focusing on efforts to respond to Hezbollah's attacks carried out in solidarity with Hamas. Hagari stated, "We will be everywhere there is Hezbollah, and we will take the necessary actions anywhere in the Middle East."
He added that "Israeli forces have attacked 3,400 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, including 120 border observation posts, 40 missile storage sites, and over 40 command centers," noting that these attacks have resulted in over 200 casualties. Hagari mentioned that Israel had deployed three army divisions along the border with Lebanon following the Hamas attack on October 7, in anticipation of Hezbollah joining the war.
These statements mark a departure from the Israeli military's usual practice of maintaining silence regarding its operations in Syria.
