Back in August, when Netanyahu threatened Palestinian leaders in Lebanon, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said the group would respond to attacks in the country.
“Any assassination on Lebanese soil against a Lebanese, Palestinian, Iranian or Syrian person will be met with a strong response. We cannot remain silent and allow opening the Lebanese scene to assassinations,” Nasrallah said at that time.
Israel’s attack in the southern suburb of Beirut represents a major escalation in the continuing clashes between Hezbollah and the Israeli military, which had been confined to the Lebanon-Israel border area.
