| Report: Hezbollah to respond but keen on sparing Israeli civilians |
| 2024-08-13 |
| [Naharnet] Hezbollah is ''calculating its steps very well'' as to its anticipated response to the Israeli airstrike on Dahieh that killed its military chief Fouad Shukur and six other people, an influential figure close to Hezbollah said. ''Hezbollah is wary of falling into the trap of giving the Israelis an alibi to attack Lebanese civilian areas, and it fears that its precision missiles -- which it has yet to use on the battlefield -- might get deviated from the specified targets due to jamming and deflection by Israel,'' the source told Kuwait's al-Anbaa newspaper. ''The Israelis are strongly trying to expand the war, but they are being faced with the Americans' deterrence,'' the source added, noting that ''Hezbollah is being patient to avoid plunging the entire country into an all-out war, for several considerations.'' The influential figure, however, asserted that Hezbollah will retaliate through striking ''an Israeli military target, without hitting civilians.'' ''Hezbollah has readiness for a lengthy fight against Israel and there is no problem in it protracting for 10 years,'' the source added. |
