In either case, the missile was shot down while still in transit to its target.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to thousands of Israeli troops currently being called up, the IDF is in the midst of a furious bombing campaign in southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/lebanons-hezbollah-says-it-launched-rocket-targeting-mossad-base-near-tel-aviv-2024-09-25\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a>, the men being called up are a part of two reserve brigades.<\/p>\n<p>Israel said the activation of thousands of men was a move to &ldquo;continuation of combat against the Hezbollah terrorist organization&rdquo; as well as &ldquo;the [defense] of the State of Israel.&rdquo; Military forces moving north into Lebanon will also be clearing the way for the eventual return of people who were forced to flee the country&rsquo;s northern border area.<\/p>\n<p>As the way is cleared for the return of the Israelis, as many as 500,000 people are expected to evacuate from Lebanon&rsquo;s southern areas.<\/p>\n<p>There is a fear that an escalation in the Middle East could soon draw the backers of Israel and Hezbollah\/Hamas, the United States and Iran, respectively, into a heated war in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Both of these outside players have so far refused to take a direct and open hand in the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>The growing military action against Hezbollah comes shortly after an apparent mass sabotage destroyed the group&rsquo;s equipment and maimed or killed its members.<\/p>\n<p>In the deadly incident, countless pagers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/details-emerge-pager-sabotage-left-hezbollah-members-broken-shattered-never-chance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exploded across Lebanon<\/a>.
