According to a preliminary investigation by the Israel Defense Forces, a soldier on a Dvora-class patrol boat near Israel's northern coast was hit by shrapnel from a missile intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system that day, while at least two Hezbollah drones were flying over the area.
In the early morning of the 25th local time, the situation between Israel and Lebanon suddenly became tense. The Israeli military announced that after detecting that Hezbollah was preparing to launch a "large-scale" attack, it launched a "preemptive" strike against Hezbollah targets. Hezbollah issued a statement denying this and announced that it would launch a large number of drones and rockets at Israel in retaliation for the Israeli airstrike that killed its military leader Shukur in the southern suburbs of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, last month. At the same time, it announced that the first phase of the attack was a success.
