This is not a blow by blow, but a summary of the information I’ve seen and heard. The situation is still critical and IMHO Israel still has the green light to continue for an indefinite period.
Hezbollah Surprises
Limited incursions into Lebanon by IDF have resulted in a few significant battles when Israeli soldiers encountered Hezbollah fighters waiting in locally extensive tunnel/cave systems near the border. The locations and settings of these tunnel systems prohibit use of IDF tanks and helicopters, forcing combat to be on the infantry level. Tactically, this is what Hezbollah would desire, a meat grinder effect that would wear down Israeli morale, even though it is not a conflict that they would have a long term chance to win.
Continued Rocket Attacks
Top intelligence officer Brigadier General Yuval Halmish said during a briefing at the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv that "over 100 rockets were fired today (Wednesday). Some of them had a diameter of 220 millimeters and are Syrian made." Note – the Syrian made ones IIRC, are the ones currently being used against Haifa and Nazereth.
IDF Operational Tempo
The IDF said the Air Force carried out over 250 sorties over Lebanese skies and that over 200 targets were struck in Lebanese territory (Wednesday). From the start of the operation the Air Force carried out 3,000 sorties and struck 1,200 targets.
Israeli warplanes dropped bombs early Thursday on a bunker in south Beirut where senior Hezbollah leaders were thought to be, the military said. Military officials said a wave of aircraft dropped 23 tons of explosives on the bunker. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters, said top Hizbullah figures were thought to be there, possibly including Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Peretz orders general closure on Judea, Samaria, and Gaza Strip
Defense Minister Amir Peretz ordered a general closure of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza. The closure will go into effect tonight and will last until Saturday evening, following an increase in alerts of terrorist attacks.
