The terrorist group is moving faster than its sponsor Iran and is much closer to Israel.
The Lebanon-based militant group is moving faster than Iran in its planning and is looking to strike Israel in the coming days, one of the sources said.One US military official told CNN that Iran had made some, but not all, of the preparations that the US would expect to see in advance of a major attack on Israel.
It is not clear how or if Iran and Hezbollah, the nation's most powerful proxy, are coordinating on a possible attack right now, the person added, and there is a sense among some officials that the two may not be entirely aligned on how to move forward.Looming attacks would come in response to Israel last week killing the top military commander for Hezbollah, Fu'ad Shukr, in Lebanon. The next day, Israel is widely believed to have assassinated Hamas' political leader in Tehran.
A significant highlight of the communiqué was the condemnation of the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas leader and former Palestinian Prime Minister, in Tehran.The OIC held Israel responsible for this act, calling it a "heinous crime and a violation of international law and the UN Charter." The organisation warned that such actions by Israel "undermine" regional security and stability.
