On Sunday, Hizballah carried out a significant drone and missile attack against military and intelligence targets in Israel, in retaliation for Tel Aviv’s assassination last month of Fuad Shukr, a senior commander in the Lebanese resistance organization. Israel tried to spin the attack as a failure, and claimed that it detected and preempted a much bigger Hizballah attack by launching a series of airstrikes.
