The Hezbollah terror group is on “high alert,” evacuating a number of key sites and facilities in southern and eastern Lebanon, over of concerns of an Israeli attack, Israel’s Channel 14 reported Sunday.
At the same time, Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Ben Habib called on the US to pressure Israel to “exercise restraint” in its response, warning that “a tough Israeli response will lead to a regional war.”
The escalation comes after a Hezbollah rocket on Saturday landed in the Druze town of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights, killing 12 youths and injuring at least 40.
Earlier on Sunday, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant attended a situational assessment at Northern Command headquarters in Safed, where he was presented with options for responding to Hezbollah.
“Hezbollah will not be cleansed of this incident, even with its ridiculous denials. It fired the shot and it will bear the price and will pay a heavy price for its actions,” Gallant said.
On Sunday morning, senior Hezbollah official Mohammed Ra’ad warned Israel against “starting a widescale war against Lebanon,” saying that doing so would be “[Israel’s] end.” Donate to vital charities that help protect Israeli citizens and inspire millions around the world to support Israel too!
