Hezbollah has started moving precision-guided missiles as Israel threatens to launch a reprisal on Lebanon following the weekend strike that killed 12 children in the northern Druze village of Majdal Shams on Saturday.
An official with a Lebanese group tells The Associated Press that Hezbollah’s stance has not changed and that the Iran-backed group does not want a full-blown war with Israel, but if war breaks out it will fight without limits.
The official, who speaks on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military activities, says Hezbollah started moving some of its “smart precision-guided missiles” to use if needed yesterday.
Germany calls on citizens to leave Lebanon ‘urgently,’ says air travel could be cut off
Amid fears of a major Israeli military response to Saturday’s deadly rocket attack on the Golan Heights, Germany updates its travel warning to Lebanon, saying that air travel could be cut off.
German citizens are “urgently requested to leave Lebanon.”
“A further escalation of the situation and expansion of the conflict cannot be ruled out,” Germany’s Foreign Office writes. “This applies in particular to the southern parts of Lebanon, including the southern urban areas of Beirut, and the Bekaa Valley, including the Baalbek-Hermel district. A further escalation could also lead to a complete suspension of air traffic from Rafiq Hariri Airport. Leaving Lebanon by air would then no longer be possible.”
