the plan of the eliminated commanders – The Time

Tensions are rising in the Middle East and new truths are emerging about the air strike that Israel carried out on a neighborhood in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, on Friday. The bombing hit a large residential building in Dahieh, an area of ​​the city with a strong Hezbollah presence. Tel Aviv’s armed forces commented on the news by ensuring that they had carried out a “targeted attack” in the city. Late in the evening, the Lebanese Shiite Islamist and anti-Zionist paramilitary organization confirmed the killing of its top commanders. “They had met to discuss the plan for an attack like the one that Hamas (the Palestinian Islamist movement) carried out on October 7, 2023, burning Israelis, massacring them, raping women, kidnapping and taking hostages the elderly and children.” Israeli President Isaac Herzog said in an interview with British broadcaster Sky News.

Hamas, meanwhile, praised Hezbollah after the Lebanese group fired rockets into northern Israel overnight, in an escalation of cross-border exchanges that raised fears of all-out war. “Hamas saluted the resistance fighters in Lebanon for their resilience and courage in confronting the Zionist war machine and for their determination to continue fighting in support of the Palestinian people and their resistance in Gaza and the West Bank,” the Palestinian militant group said in a statement. And it is precisely the daily exchange of fire that is increasing fears that the war actors are planning an escalation of the conflict.
