Hezbollah has issued a stern warning to Israel, threatening to target major cities such as Tel Aviv and Haifa if the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continue airstrikes in Beirut. Mahmoud Kamati, the deputy head of Hezbollah's political council, articulated this stance during an interview with Qatari media, asserting that the previous approach of allowing Israeli attacks without retaliation is no longer acceptable. He emphasized that any further aggression would result in a direct response, fundamentally altering the dynamics of conflict in the region. Kamati's remarks highlight a new military equation, positioning Dahiyeh and Beirut against central Israeli cities. Concurrently, the Yemeni Houthi group has echoed similar threats, indicating a broader coalition of resistance against Israeli military actions in Lebanon. This escalation comes after a prolonged period during which Israel conducted airstrikes in Lebanon without facing retaliation, a situation that Hezbollah claims has emboldened Israeli aggression. The current rhetoric signals a potential for increased hostilities and a more aggressive posture from Hezbollah and its allies in the region.
