Israeli report: No place immune in Lebanon if Hezbollah keeps boosting its capabilities
Although the Israeli army “has so far refrained from carrying out strikes in Beirut, no place will be immune if Hezbollah keeps boosting its capabilities,” senior Israeli sources told the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation.
Lebanese governmental sources had on Monday told Al-Jadeed television that Lebanon is already in a “state of war.”
“Escalation will not expand in a major manner, despite fears that some areas around the capital might be targeted,” the sources said.
Israel’s Haaretz newspaper meanwhile quoted Israeli army officials as saying that “the Lebanese Army is not doing much to prevent Hezbollah from rehabilitating itself and is avoiding confrontation with its members.”
