The Israeli claim Hezb planned to fire 6k rockets and thousands destroyed in the pre-empt attack is silly. About 40 launch sites hit, and many of those are extremely well protected aka underground facilities that can be disrupted but not easily destroyed 2/

The few hundred rockets fired after the Israeli strikes were likely intended to draw Iron Dome responses and open corridors for drones targeting key sites: military bases/intel HQs as far south as Tel Aviv. Unconfirmed but logical and consistent with Hezb doctrine. 3/

The pre-empt strikes by IAF are described as targeting long range missiles - not cheap short ranged rockets from Hezb’s effectively unlimited supply. But the geographically limited nature the strikes - from what I can tell virtually all south of the Litani - raises questions. 4/

The long range missiles - there’s a bunch of charts of various systems - aren’t generally based on the border, and easy to spot and hit. Hezb has strategic depth and use it very effectively. Putting them 20km closer to the border offers little benefit and lots of risk. 5/

Aka missiles launched from much deeper in the mountains away from the border can hit almost anything in Israel, there’s little point to setting them up south of the Litani, where today’s strikes were focused. 6/

Nasrallah speaks at 6pm. Today might be a pressure release or an escalation. And I doubt either side really knows how it will play out. War tends to have its own logic that can be opaque even to each side. Claims either way about where this is headed can’t really be trusted 10/10

However, it does stand to reason that Hezb planned to use some of these missile systems as part of their ‘conventional triad’ of rockets, missiles, and drones. And it would be reasonable to assume some were hit, disrupted or Hezb decided to save them in light of the pre-empt 7/

The guided long range missile systems are the most essential - and rarely seen in action - weapons that Hezb points at Israel. Thus both sides put enormous effort into hide and seek over them. It’s unclear - and likely to remain so - how these were affected this morning. 8/
