Israeli MPs call to 'tear Beirut apart' and assassinate Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah after deadly blast in Druze village
Israel’s air force struck targets inside Lebanon yesterday but officials said this was not the response to the Majdel Shams incident, which marked the highest Israeli death toll in US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, said Washington did not want the conflict to escalate but added that Israel has the “right to defend its citizens.”
Iran, which counts Hezbollah as the most powerful valuable member of its “Axis of Resistance” coalition, which includes Hamas and the Houthis of Yemen, warned Israel that any “adventure” in Lebanon could lead to “unforeseen consequences.” “A powerful action means destroying a lot of important strategic things in Lebanon. But it could also mean actually putting boots on the ground,” he told, raising the prospect of a ground invasion in Lebanon for the first time since 2006, when a previous war between Israel and Hezbollah ended inconclusively.
“I believe that Israel will try to find a way to retaliate aggressively with very harsh retaliation, but it will be focused on military targets of Hezbollah” to “maintain the equation set since 8 October,” Dr Michael added.
