Yoav Gallant, Israel\u2019s defence minister, has announced a 48-hour nationwide state of emergency.<\/p>\n
The development comes after the Israeli military launched massive airstrikes on Lebanon.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe declaration on the state of emergency enables the IDF (Israeli military) to issue instructions to the citizens of Israel, including limiting gatherings and closing sites where it may be relevant,\u201d Mr Gallant said in a statement on Monday. \u201cI hereby declare a special situation on the home front in other areas of the country. The situation is valid for 48 hours starting at 6:00 am.\u201d<\/p>\n
DAILY POST reports that the military struck Lebanon with over 100 jets to thwart a bigger attack.<\/p>\n
Hezbollah on the other hand had also launched hundreds of rockets and drones at Israel early on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The missiles fired by Hezbollah were visible, curling up through the dawn sky, dark vapour trailing behind them, as an air raid siren sounded in Israel.<\/p>\n
Three deaths were confirmed in Lebanon but none in Israel.<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s military further maintained that it had foiled a much larger attack with pre-emptive airstrikes, destroying thousands of launcher barrels, aimed mostly at northern Israel but also targeting some central areas.<\/p>\n
Hezbollah dismissed Israel\u2019s statement, saying it had been able to launch its drones as planned and that the rest of its response to Shukr\u2019s killing would take \u201csome time. \u201d<\/p>\n
