NOURNEWS: Five days ago, the army of the Zionist regime claimed that "operational plans" had been confirmed to attack Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
The tensions between the Zionist regime and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which began a day after the October 7 attack on Gaza, reached their peak last week when images captured by Hezbollah’s drone called “Hodhod” were broadcast. These images, published by a drone that evaded the radars of the Zionist regime, showed sensitive military and civilian centers across the Occupied Lands, including Haifa Port. This action is considered an intelligent move, mocking the intelligence system of the Zionist regime.
Following the announcement from the Zionist regime, Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Lebanon’s Resistance and the secretary-general of Hezbollah, declared Hezbollah's readiness to defend itself. He warned the Zionists that if they imposed war against Hezbollah, they would fight back without limitation, regularities, or ceiling. He also warned Cyprus, prompting Cyprus's president, Nikos Christodoulides, to announce that his Mediterranean island country is not involved in any military operation in the region or anywhere else.
Cyprus was not the only country to clearly state its stance regarding the war. Over the past five days, military, intelligence, and media commanders of the Zionist regime have warned against any act of waging war against Lebanon.
Chuck Freilich, the former deputy advisor to national security of the Zionist regime, said, "In the aftermath of this probable attack, the internal front of Israel and its vital military abilities will be hit dramatically."
Haaretz Daily wrote, “Lebanon’s Hezbollah is very intelligent and Israel is not able to counter their drones.” Sama News Agency also reported that “Yisrael Hasson,” the former deputy of Shabak, addressed the political and military heads of the Zionist regime, saying, “Do not lie about attacking Lebanon and do not deceive yourselves about your ability to defeat Hezbollah in a war of attrition.”
CNN reported that the U.S. is concerned the Iron Dome could become overwhelmed if an all-out war began between Israel and Lebanon. Additionally, the executive manager of the power network of the Zionist regime announced that Lebanon’s Hezbollah could sabotage the power network, warning about the Zionist regime's unpreparedness to counter this threat.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in a meeting with Tzachi Hanegbi, head of Israel's National Security Council, and Ron Dermer, Israel's Strategic Affairs Minister, urged Israel to avoid escalating tensions with Lebanon. U.S. Special Envoy Amos Hochstein also traveled to Israel and Lebanon to focus on preventing the spread of the conflict. International observers believe that, given the upcoming U.S. elections, President Joe Biden and the Democrats, despite needing to support Israel, see the expansion of war in the Middle East as conflicting with their election goals.
However, Lebanon's resistance insists, as they have for the past nine months, that they will respond harshly to any aggression. The "Al-Aqsa Storm" operation and subsequent events have shown that their response is not isolated but coordinated from Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Gaza, shaping the ultimate outcome of conflicts. Even the Israelis acknowledge this, and thus their recent moves to escalate for a large-scale war with Lebanon are seen more as psychological warfare to cover up Israel's intelligence and security failures.
