Iran says Hezbollah to strike ‘broader and deeper’ civilian and military targets

Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations warns Hezbollah will strike “broader and deeper” civilian and military targets in response to the Israeli strike that killed top commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut earlier this week.

A spokesperson for the mission tells CBS that until now, Hezbollah has limited itself according to an “unwritten understanding” with Israel “confining their actions to border areas and shallow zones, targeting primarily military objectives.”

“However, the [Israeli] regime’s attack on Dahieh in Beirut and the targeting of a residential building marked a deviation from these boundaries. We anticipate that, in its response, Hezbollah will choose both broader and deeper targets, and will not restrict itself solely to military targets and means,” the spokesperson says.
