Hezbollah has started moving precision-guided missiles amid Israel threat — Lebanese official

Hezbollah has started moving precision-guided missiles as Israel threatens to launch a reprisal on Lebanon following the weekend strike that killed 12 children in the northern Druze village of Majdal Shams on Saturday.

An official with a Lebanese group tells The Associated Press that Hezbollah’s stance has not changed and that the Iran-backed group does not want a full-blown war with Israel, but if war breaks out it will fight without limits.

The official, who speaks on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military activities, says Hezbollah started moving some of its “smart precision-guided missiles” to use if needed yesterday.

Since the war in Gaza began in October, Hezbollah has fired thousands of rockets and scores of explosive drones into Israel. Israel estimates that Hezbollah has an arsenal of 150,000 rockets and missiles, including precision-guided missiles.
