Hezbollah said that the operation is an "initial response" to the Israeli assassination of Saleh al-Arouri, the Deputy Chief of the Political Bureau of Hamas, and his companions earlier this week in a strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut.
The Resistance group's chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah vowed on Friday that a response is inevitably coming, noting that an operation was green-lighted - without providing details - and is now up to battle commanders and fighters to carry it out when field conditions allow.
Commenting on the targeting of the "Meron" Base, Israeli media described it as only a "trailer" of what would happen if the party's "multidimensional threats expand."
"The heavy salvo this morning is a trailer of the war situation, during which Hezbollah elements will launch thousands of rockets, focusing on strategic and sensitive locations, such as national infrastructure, military bases, and symbols of authority," Wallah! Israeli news outlet said.
