Arab sources say Hezbollah’s revenge asgainst Israel will come next month
Security officials estimate that the two rockets fired at the Golan Heights earlier today are just the preamble for an act of revenge by Hezbollah for the killing of several of its members last week, which Hezbollah believes was undertaken by Israel.
Channel 10 quotes Arab sources as saying that Hezbollah will carry out a large-scale terror attack next month, to coincide with the anniversary of the killing of Imad Mughniyeh. Mughniyeh’s son, Jihad, was among the Hezbollah members killed in the attack last Sunday.
The IDF on Tuesday fired some 20 artillery shells into Syria after the two rockets landed west of the border, but according to Channel 10 the military is weighing another response, even if to deter Hezbollah from planning a large-scale attack.
Israel on Tuesday played tough against Hezbollah and Iran, sending a clear message that any attack would be met with a harsh response.
