Israel destroyed thousands of Hezbollah rocket launchers on Sunday morning after it became clear that Hezbollah intended to carry out a massive attack on Israel on Sunday morning at about 5 a.m.
Hezbollah planned to target strategic sites in central Tel Aviv, including Ben-Gurion Airport and the Glilot base near Hertzliya, where the Mossad headquarters and 8200 intelligence unit are located.
The IDF struck over 40 launch sites in Lebanon, destroying about 6,000 launchers, drones and rockets.
At about 5 a.m., Israel Airports Authority announced that Ben-Gurion Airport has been closed and arriving flights will be redirected to other airports.
The airport re-opened about two hours later and flights resumed shortly later. However, some airlines canceled their flights to Israel and according to reports, the flight schedule was significantly disrupted and it will take some time until normal operations are resumed

Could be… I’m more skeptical to take at face value what they say. Of course they will say it was all a great success and all.
Chasdei Hashem!
And thank you to Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Anthony Blinken too! The State of Israel’s only true allies in America are the Democratic Party!
there’s no need to be specific about hezbollah’s intended targets. the vaguer the reporting, the less hezbollah can use the information. “aimed at targets in northern or central israel” is more than enough said.
The IDF had a clear basis last night to strike Hezbolah assets much deeper in Lebanon but chose to restrict its efforts to strike only the rocket and drone launching facilities along a narrow corridor along the northern border. While they want to avoid “escalating the conflict”, the strikes last night did nothing to make it possible for the tens of thousands of residents of the north to return home.
