Hezbollah vows deep strikes inside occupied territories if Israel attacks Beirut
The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has warned that it would launch extensive attacks on areas deep inside the Israeli-occupied territories if the Israeli regime carries out any attack on the Shia-dominated district of Dahiyah in the south of the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
Deputy chairman of Hezbollah’s political council Mahmoud Qamati said on Tuesday that the group does not accept an equation in which attacks on Beirut’s Dahiyah are met with attacks on settlements in the north of the Israeli occupied territories.
Qamati said that Hezbollah’s reprisal for any potential attack on Beirut would expand beyond its current attacks on settlements near the Lebanese border and would target areas deep inside the occupied territories.
‘We have informed the relevant parties that we reject the equation of Dahieh in exchange for the northern settlements,’ he said.
The comments by the Lebanese politician come a day after the Israeli regime backed off from a reported planned attack on Dahiyah.
That came after Iran warned people living in the Israeli occupied territories to evacuate their homes and properties in anticipation of a potential Iranian attack in support of Lebanon and Hezbollah and in response to any attack on Beirut.
Iranian authorities warned that any extensive attack on Lebanon would be a violation of an early April ceasefire that was announced by Pakistan to allow a halt to the US-Israeli aggression on Iran and its allies.
Reports published right after the warning showed that the Israeli regime had halted its attack on Beirut under pressure from US President Donald Trump, who feared such attacks could trigger massive Iranian and Hezbollah retaliation.
Hezbollah’s fight with the Israeli regime intensified in late February, when the US-Israeli aggression against Iran started.
The Israeli aggression on Lebanon has killed thousands and displaced nearly two million people.
