At a press briefing, IDF Spokesperson Effie Defrin said, "Hezbollah opened fire, it chose to start a campaign. It will pay a heavy price." He added that the IDF had struck dozens of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, including in Beirut. "We struck dozens of command centers and rocket launch sites belonging to the organization. We struck senior commanders, among the last remaining top officials still alive in that organization," Defrin said. He noted that the results of the strikes are under review and that additional operations in southern Lebanon will follow after evacuation warnings were issued to dozens of villages.
Separately, Defense Minister Israel Katz stated, "The Hezbollah terror organization will pay a heavy price for the firing toward Israel, and Naim Qassem, Hezbollah's secretary general, who decided on the firing under pressure from Iran, from now on he is a marked target for elimination." Katz added, "Whoever follows the path of Ali Khamenei will soon find himself together with him in the depths of hell with all those eliminated from the axis of evil."
