As part of this attack, Hezbollah began attacking Israeli military and other important installations. The group has even attacked the Gilit base, which is only one and a half kilometers away from Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel.

Against this attack, the Israeli forces claimed to have carried out a pre-emptive attack. They claim, against the thousands of rockets fired by Hezbollah, about 100 warplanes of the Israeli Air Force were deployed and these warplanes destroyed Hezbollah’s rockets.

The Israeli military claimed that 4,000 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) bombs were used in this attack. Each of which costs 25 thousand dollars. A total of $18 million was spent on flying 100 fighter jets for 6 hours, $1.08 million was spent on drone operations for 12 hours and a total of $120 million including other ammunition.
