Israel said concerned Hezbollah could carry out ‘provocation’ before possible maritime deal

Israel is concerned that the Hezbollah terror group could carry out another “provocation” before the possible signing of a maritime border agreement between Israel and Lebanon, Channel 12 reports.
The report does not detail what kind of “provocation” security officials believe Hezbollah will carry out. In July, Israel intercepted four unnamed Hezbollah drones flying toward the Karish offshore gas field.
According to the network, which does not cite a source, Israel will give up “a segment in the heart of the sea” as part of the talks, while Lebanon will forgo an area close to the coast.
The report comes days after Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah warned of an “escalation” if Lebanon’s demands are not met in US-mediated negotiations.
