Hezbollah could unleash an 'October 7-style' attack on Israel as part of escalating tensions, a leading Middle East expert has said. Yaakov Katz said that the militant group could storm across Israel's northern border in a similar manner to the way Hamas did to kill more than 1,200 people in the infamous attack.
Hezbollah said the attack was targeting "a qualitative Israeli military target that will be announced later" as well as "targeting a number of enemy sites and barracks and Iron Dome platforms".The attacks risk triggering a broader region-wide war that could torpedo efforts to forge a ceasefire in Gaza.Egypt is currently hosting a new round of talks aimed at ending Israel's war against Hamas, now in its 11th month.
