Israel Air Force fighter jets struck approximately 120 Hezbollah terror targets in southern Lebanon and deep inside Lebanese territory over the course of a day, the IDF announced Sunday evening.
The Military Intelligence Directorate directed IAF strikes conducted throughout the day, the IDF added.
Among the assets struck were significant headquarters used by Hezbollah’s different units, as well as weapons storage facilities and Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure, the military noted.
Beginning shortly after midnight on Sunday, the IDF began targeting the neighborhood of Dahiyeh in southern Beirut, the same location where Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had been killed along with upwards of 20 other terrorists on Friday.
On Sunday afternoon, Hezbollah confirmed that its senior leader, Ali Karaki was killed in the same strike.
Shortly after, the IDF announced that nearly 50 terror targets had been eliminated across southern Lebanon, with the number growing to 120 by evening.
The IDF said the strikes constituted significant damage to Hezbollah’s capabilities, command and control abilities, and operational management.
Several more rockets and drones crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory on Sunday evening, including two drones, which were intercepted over Israeli waters by a missile ship and an IDF combat helicopter, the military stated.
Additionally, multiple rockets fell in open areas surrounding Haifa.
On Sunday night, an additional drone from Lebanon was intercepted in Israeli airspace.

No injuries were reported due to rocket strikes across the whole day.
Home Front Command restrictions
Additionally, on Sunday night, the Home Front Command issued updated guidelines for northern Israel, easing restrictions in several areas.
Areas where restrictions will be eased are the Haifa Bay area (except for Kiryat Ata, Kiryat Motzkin, Kiryat Bialik, and Kiryat Yam) and the Carmel region (in the towns of Daliyat al-Karmel and Isfiya), which have transitioned to partial activity.
Educational activities can now be held in locations where access to a standard shelter is available.
