In a dramatic overnight operation between Monday and Tuesday, the IDF and Shin Bet successfully thwarted one of the most significant terror attacks planned against Israeli targets in recent years.

The operation involved an Israeli Air Force strike on an apartment in Beirut's Dahiyeh neighborhood, where a key Hezbollah operative—an influential figure in a terror network that included Hamas operatives—was residing. 

This rare collaboration between the Shiite Hezbollah and Sunni Hamas was aimed at executing an imminent attack on an Israeli target abroad. 

Had the attack succeeded, it is highly likely that hundreds of Israelis would have been killed.
