Israel gauges Hezbollah threat after Lebanon quake

Reports indicate that Israel has announced its readiness to attack Hezbollah sites in Lebanon following the explosion of a Hezbollah underground tunnel network beneath Mount Ali Al-Tahir in southern Lebanon, which caused a 4.1 magnitude earthquake in the area. Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz confirmed that the country is prepared to continue the campaign and strike additional sites, emphasizing the construction of a strong security zone to protect northern residents and to threaten Hezbollah deep within Lebanese territory. This came alongside statements from the Israeli army's commander regarding immediate and forceful retaliation against any attacks on Israeli civilians or forces. There is also talk of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon concerning the deployment of the Lebanese army in the south, after Israel's control of the high ground north of the Litani River. These events suggest an Israeli escalation against Hezbollah in the region, with statements aimed at deterring and weakening the group's ability to tunnel and launch rockets from Lebanon.
