Full scale of Israeli response to Hezbollah's latest barrage of missiles remains uncertain
The aftermath of an Israeli strike on southern Lebanon on Sunday. Both sides appear closer to a wider conflict since the start of the Israel-Hamas war
“Tensions are high, and the situation could deteriorate rapidly,” said Foreign Secretary David Lammy said in a statement. “While we are working round the clock to strengthen our consular presence in Lebanon, my message to British nationals there is clear – leave now.” In an official statement, the militant group, which also functions as a political party with parliamentary presence, claimed the attack was in retaliation to Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon villages of Kafrkila and Deir Siryan, which injured civilians.In a televised address at the Beirut funeral of Hezbollah leader Shukur earlier this week, Nasrallah said the enemy, presumed to be Israel, had crossed “red lines”.
The IDF said in an official statement: “We struck in Beirut and we are striking in Gaza, and we will be very strong in defence, and then we will strike very strongly.”“The state of Israel will not and cannot overlook this,” he said in a meeting with the local Druze community, whose members were the victims of the attack. “Our response will come, and it will be severe.”
