JERUSALEM: Israeli Military Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari has claimed on Saturday (5th Oct, 2024) that they had destroyed 2000 targets and neutralized 440 Hezbollah members (including 30 commanders) in ground combat or from the air, in Lebanon.

Pointing towards the anniversary of 7th October attacks Daniel Hagari held: “We assume that on the anniversary they will try to carry out terrorist attacks against the Home Front Command”.

Answering to a query apropos launching of 180 missiles by Iran, the Spokesman said the response “will be given at a time that Israel recognizes as the best. We will respond in the way we decide, at the time, and in the way we decide”.

It may be recalled that President Joe Biden has said that he was thinking of other alternatives, for instance, to strikes on Iran’s oil assets.
