For days there have been fears of a retaliatory attack by the Hezbollah militia against Israel. Now, according to the army, it is imminent. Israel’s air force is reacting.
Israel’s army says it is attacking Shiite militia positions in its neighboring country in the face of an imminent threat from the Lebanese Hezbollah. The Israeli military recently determined that Hezbollah was preparing to fire rockets into Israeli territory, Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said early this morning. Israeli Air Force fighter planes are currently attacking Hezbollah targets “that pose an imminent danger to the citizens of the State of Israel.” This is an act of self-defense.
“Right next to the homes of Lebanese civilians in southern Lebanon, we can see that Hezbollah is preparing a full-scale attack on Israel, endangering the Lebanese civilian population,” the Israeli army said. “We warn civilians in the areas where Hezbollah operates to immediately leave the danger zone for their own safety.”
