Hezbollah's action was instigated by intelligence obtained from Israeli military sources, as per Nasrallah's statement.
An Israeli army representative informed AFP that they can verify that the Glilot facility was unaffected. As per Israeli news sources, this location also houses Mossad's main headquarters, Israel's foreign intelligence agency.
Nasrallah, Hezbollah's leader, refuted Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's statements about Hezbollah's rockets being intercepted and launchers destroyed by the thousands. He labeled these claims as "baseless".
Hezbollah launched over 300 rockets into northern Israel during Sunday morning, as per their own account. This was reportedly a response to the death of their top military commander, Fuad Shukr, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut at the end of July.
Israel declared a state of emergency due to the intense shelling, and the Israeli military reported conducted preemptive strikes on Hezbollah sites in Lebanon.
The Israeli army representative's statements about the Glilot facility's safety contradict the assertion that Hezbollah's attack targeted Mossad's main headquarters. Following the attack by Hezbollah, Nasrallah dismissed Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's claims of intercepted rockets and destroyed launchers as baseless.
