The nightmare of regional war is increasingly concrete and the consequences are currently unpredictable. The United States and Israel expect an attack by Iran and its allied militias in the region on the Jewish state tomorrow, Monday, August 5, in retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut on Tuesday and of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh the following day in Tehran. This was reported by the American website Axios. Yesterday, the head of the American Central Command (CENTCOM), General Michael Kurilla, arrived in the region to coordinate the response of the allies in defense of Israel in the event of an attack.
The date is indicated by some officials of the US and Israeli secret services, according to the US information site Axios. Yesterday, the article recalls, US general Michael Kurilla, responsible for US forces in the region, arrived in the area as planned for some time, but with the aim of mobilizing an international coalition similar to the one last April on the occasion of the previous attack planned by Tehran in response to an Israeli action. According to sources heard by Axios, the Iranian retaliation could have the same course as that previous one, but with a broader scope, also involving Hezbollah from Lebanon; it is not clear whether it will be a single operation or two separate responses.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah announced that it had fired “dozens” of rockets at Israel. The attack was confirmed by the Israeli military, which said “most of the rockets were intercepted.” Hezbollah said the Katyusha rockets were fired in response to Israeli attacks on Kfar Kela and Deir Syriane in Lebanon, which injured civilians. Israel urged residents of the Upper Galilee to stay close to shelters, according to Israel’s Channel 13. The U.S. and Israel expect an Iranian attack tomorrow.
