According to the NYTimes, they had missiles programmed to launch on Tel Aviv at 5am but the IAF pre-empted them and destroyed the launchers from the air at 4:45am.

Since then Hezbollah has launched a few hundred rockets on Israel's north and some amount of drones. They also made a statement declaring that this attack is their response to the Shukr assassination a month ago and calling their first wave "successful" without mentioning the lost missile arrays.
Here's a guide to Hezbollah's current arsenal:

If we take this report at face value (and I’m inclined to believe it), the fact that Israel preemptively struck targets involved in a planned 5AM launch at 4:45AM is incredibly impressive. We all know that they have world class intelligence, but still. It’s quite a flexing of the muscles once again. They are continuing to send the message that they have eyes and ears around every corner and don’t mind acting on what they know. It’s not a good time to be in Hezbollah.
