Amid spiraling tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, the Shia terror group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah is slated to give an address in Beirut today at 5 p.m.
The televised address headlines the memorial ceremony for senior Hezbollah commander Taleb Abdullah, whom Israel assassinated last week.
Yesterday, Hezbollah published footage from what it said was one of its reconnaissance drones flying over northern Israel, including the Haifa port.
In recent months, the group has increasingly launched drones, including explosive-laden ones, at northern Israel.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Israel Katz warned that Hezbollah would be destroyed in the event of a “total war.”
In Beirut yesterday, US envoy Amos Hochstein called for the “urgent” de-escalation of cross-border exchanges as alarm grows in the US that a full-blown war could erupt in Lebanon.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
