Report: Israeli escalation inevitable despite civilian negotiations
Israel will still escalate its strikes against Hezbollah despite the upgrade in the level of negotiations between Lebanon and Israel, an informed source said.
The source told MTV that the escalation would involve strikes against Hezbollah’s arms depots and assassinations against group officials “amid Hezbollah’s clinging to its arms.”
President Joseph Aoun’s decision to name a civilian representative to the Mechanism talks has however “protected the Lebanese state and its facilities from attacks as well as the regions that are not under Hezbollah’s influence,” the source added.
