“Israel Will Strike Lebanon Hard if Hezbollah Gets Involved”

Israel has sent an indirect message to Lebanon that it will respond with strong strikes, targeting non-military infrastructure, if Hezbollah becomes involved in a potential war between the US and Iran. Lebanese officials report that Israel warned of strikes even on Lebanon's airport. Talks between Iran and the US regarding the Iranian nuclear program are ongoing, with a new meeting scheduled for Thursday in Geneva, amid growing concerns about military conflict. Hezbollah, which was founded by Iranian Revolutionary Guards in 1982, has stated that it is not neutral in the confrontation between Washington and Tehran and will defend itself, without directly specifying how it will intervene. The US State Department has already begun the evacuation of non-essential personnel and their families from the US embassy in Beirut as a precautionary measure.
