Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said on Monday that a major Hezbollah attack against Israel is only a matter of time.
“The response that Israel has been waiting for days with tense nerves is inevitable,” he told the Lebanese newspaper Al Joumhouria, which is affiliated with Hezbollah’s opposition.
The head of the Amal movement, which is aligned with Hezbollah, added that a “response or revenge is a dish that is eaten cold.”
Iran’s Lebanese terror proxy has vowed revenge for Israel’s targeted killing of senior commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut on July 30. That strike was in retaliation to a Hezbollah rocket attack on July 27 that hit a soccer pitch in the Golan Druze town of Majdal Shams, killing 12 children.
Tehran has also pledged to retaliate against Israel for the July 31st assassination of Hamas terror leader Ismail Haniyah in the Iranian capital, which Jerusalem has not taken responsibility for.
According to Berri, while the possibility of a wider war remains, “the axis of resistance [Iran and its proxies] is still managing the battle in a calculated and wise manner,” with strikes being limited to military targets.
