BREAKING NEWS: Hezbollah’s ‘Joker’ unleashes major attack from scratch
Hezbollah Ready to Launch Independent Attack on Israel, Israeli Officials Fear
CNN International has reported that Iran’s proxy force Hezbollah is increasingly prepared to launch an “independent” attack on Israel. Israeli officials are now more concerned that Hezbollah, rather than Iran, will be the first to carry out a major attack in the coming days, as reported by Israeli media.
According to sources familiar with intelligence on the matter, CNN International revealed that Hezbollah seems ready to act “independently” of the expected Iranian retaliation against Israel following the recent killings of its top military commander, Fuad Shukur, in Beirut, and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
One source indicated that Hezbollah is moving faster than Iran in preparing for the attack, which they plan to execute in the near future. While Iran is reportedly still discussing retaliatory plans, a U.S. military official mentioned that Tehran has already made some preparations for a potential full-scale assault on Israel.
Unlike Iran, Hezbollah could potentially launch the attack with little or no warning due to Lebanon’s border with Israel, another source mentioned. It remains uncertain whether Iran and its Lebanese proxy will collaborate in the attack, with some officials believing they may have differing opinions on how to proceed.
In response, Israeli television Channel 12 relayed a message to both Hezbollah and Iran, warning that any harm inflicted on Israeli civilians in the promised retaliation for the killed leaders would be considered a “red line,” prompting a “disproportionate response.”
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant expressed concerns, stating that “Hezbollah could hit Israel harder than Iran” and warning that the current tension could escalate into a full-scale war, emphasizing that the threat is very real.
Meanwhile, on the Iranian side, President Masoud Pezeshkian reportedly urged the country’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to refrain from directly attacking Israel. Pezeshkian warned that escalating the conflict could result in the destruction of Israel’s infrastructure and energy targets, ultimately leading to the collapse of the economy. There are concerns that a war could deepen public discontent with the regime and potentially even lead to Iran’s collapse, as reported by Israeli media.
