Israel says it will pursue Hezbollah members wherever they are
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s recent statement said the army will expand its campaign in the north of the country, and increase the rate of attacks, pursuing Hezbollah members wherever they are – Damascus, Beirut and further.
The Israeli army has already hit Beirut a few months ago, killing a senior Hamas leader in southern Beirut.
The new remarks by Gallant are a threat against Hezbollah, not Hamas, and if Israel hits a senior Hezbollah commander, the group has to react.
The statement also comes after Gallant’s visit to the US, where he got his agreement to get the Americans to speed up weapons and arms deliveries to Israel.
This is despite the fact that the US has real concerns with regards to Rafah, where about 1.3 million Palestinians are sheltering.
The Americans don’t want a mass ground offensive in Rafah. Military analysts say, if Israelis get away with a major military operation in Rafah, then it opens the flood gates to going into Lebanon in much bigger form than perhaps we saw in 2006.
