Israel has placed its forces on high alert ahead of the anniversary of Hamas's October 7 attack, while also preparing for a potential response to Iran's recent missile strike. This comes as Israel intensifies its war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, vowing to target the group relentlessly.
Israel placed its forces on alert Saturday ahead of the anniversary of Hamas ’s October 7 attack, after a military official said the country was preparing its retaliation for Iran ’s missile attack.
The Israeli military said it had killed around 440 Hezbollah fighters “from the ground and from the air” since Monday when troops began “targeted” ground operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. One Israeli military official, speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to discuss the issue publicly, said the army “is preparing a response” to Iran’s attack.
The movement is yet to name a new chief after Israel assassinated Hassan Nasrallah late last month in a massive strike in the Lebanese capital. In a March report, the Center for Strategic and International Studies said estimates of Hezbollah’s rockets and missiles varied from 120,000-200,000.On central Beirut’s busy Hamra Street, Salma Salman said she had been camping out with her seven-year-old twin daughters for nearly two weeks.Late Saturday Israel issued a new appeal for residents of southern Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold, to evacuate.
