Footage showing dozens of interceptions of Israeli Iron Dome and MIM-104 Patriot air defense batteries over Northern Israel in the last few minutes following a large barrage of missiles and drones launched by Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon. In my opinion, this may be an attempt to deplete Israel's stock of surface-to-air missile batteries in the north of the country before a larger attack using cruise and other more advanced ground-based missiles.

An official representative of the US Department of Defense told FOX about the transfer of forces and assets to the Middle East region – against the backdrop of an expected Iranian attack on Israel. US Department of Defense Spokesperson: “We are deploying additional capabilities to the region to bolster regional deterrence efforts and strengthen the protection of U.S. forces.”

Meanwhile, an unidentified object, likely a missile, was spotted in northwestern Iraq near the Syrian border.
