The northern front heats up, battle with Hezbollah. The US warning
Israel’s northern front lights up on the border with Lebanon dominated by Hezbollah: the pro-Iranian armed party has engaged the Israeli army together with others from the Islamic Jihad in a shootout at the border, preceded and followed by artillery bombardments against non-resident areas. live in southern Lebanon. The pro-Iranian Shiite militiamen, who admitted having lost four militiamen, then launched a raid on two Israeli barracks. The tension along the northern border began after the Israeli army reported that some suspected militiamen had infiltrated from Lebanon. “The soldiers – said the spokesperson – have deployed in the area” near Ayta Shaab, near the Israeli settlements of Shtula and Zarit. And residents of numerous localities have been told to stay indoors. A firefight began, which ended with the killing of all the militiamen, reported the armed forces, who also began hitting enemy positions in Lebanese territory. Initially Hezbollah, which yesterday had claimed responsibility for launching rockets against three military positions along the Blue Line of demarcation, systematically denied being involved in the military operation along the Blue Line. While this ground blitz was claimed by Islamic Jihad, the Palestinian fundamentalist group active in Gaza together with Hamas. In the evening, however, Hezbollah changed its tune. And he announced that “Islamic Resistance groups attacked” two Israeli barracks “using guided missiles and mortar shells that hit them directly.” An attack that occurred as a “first response” to the killing of his 4 militiamen. The escalation is being followed with concern in Beirut. Where Prime Minister Najib Miqati, at the head of a government which includes Hezbollah ministers, pronounced the first official Lebanese reaction to what is happening between Gaza and Israel, claiming that this is “the inevitable result of the actions of the Israeli enemy against the Palestinians and their legitimate claims”. A few hours earlier, the Lebanese Foreign Minister, Abdallah Bou Habib, had been reassured by the leaders of the Party of God that there would be no attack against Israel, unless there was an attack on Lebanon. But the situation deteriorated in the space of a few hours. Iran’s shadow continues to loom over the war between Israel and Hamas, with the involvement of Hezbollah. Tehran, which in the morning had denied any direct involvement in the Hamas offensive, has instead returned to claiming a role of political support for the action of the Palestinian armed forces starting from the Strip, as reported by US press sources. “The iron determination of the Palestinian nation and the fighters of God’s way herald the sure triumph over the Zionist regime,” Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said during a new conversation with exiled Hamas leader Ismail Haniye. “Soon we will pray together at the al-Aqsa Mosque” in Jerusalem, added Raisi, referring to Islam’s third holy site after Mecca and Medina. “Despite the disparity in resources and services between the resistance forces and the Zionist army, the Palestinian warriors upset the balance of the Zionist regime, using the element of surprise in a large-scale operation,” he said. added Raisi, who predicted the “final victory of the Palestinian nation.”
The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah should not make the “wrong decision” to open a second front against Israel while fighting Hamas attacks, a senior Pentagon official has warned. “We are deeply concerned that Hezbollah will make the wrong decision and choose to open a second front in this conflict,” the source said.
Tehran: ‘We are with Hamas but we are not behind the attacks’
“We proudly and unswervingly support Palestine, however we are not involved in the Palestinian response (the attack on Israel, ed.), which was conducted only by the Palestinians”: Iran’s mission to the United Nations declared this in a statement , referring to Hamas attacks against the Jewish state. “The action of the Palestinian Resistance was a fully legitimate defense against the crimes and usurpations of the illegitimate Zionist regime”, we read again in the statement from the Tehran mission.
