Stand for Israel  |  August 8, 2024

The Hezbollah terror group has said they will seek revenge on Israel after the killings of top official Fuad Shukr in Beirut and the Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. And as the entire nation of Israel is on high alert, it’s possible Hezbollah might be the first to strike, reports JNS:

Israel’s Channel 12 News reported on Wednesday that Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah could see a window of opportunity to initiate an attack in the coming days. A large-scale intelligence effort is underway to identify the timing and nature of the response, according to the report.

Nasrallah said in a speech on Tuesday that the terror group will retaliate for the Shukr assassination. Several hours before the speech, Al Akhbar, a pro-Hezbollah newspaper in Beirut, published a front-page article suggesting that Hezbollah would likely target Tel Aviv.
