Israeli warplanes pounded on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon on Thursday, hitting hundreds of rocket launcher barrels that were about to be used to immediately fire towards Israeli territory, the military stated.

The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) stated that since the afternoon, warplanes had hit some 100 rocket launchers consisting of around 1000 barrels, news agency Reuters reported.

This came hours after Hezbollah's chief, Hassan Nasrallah, threatened “tough retribution and just punishment” for the back-to-back attacks that trampled on the militant group's communication infrastructure with explosives hidden in pagers and walkie-talkies.
