Israel issues its most detailed warning yet to Hez
Israel’s military has issued its most detailed warning yet to Hezbollah that it would be “ready to attack immediately” if provoked, as it recounted its actions along the Lebanese border during four months of war in Gaza and made a rare acknowledgement of dozens of airstrikes inside Syria against the Lebanese group.ez

“We do not choose war as our first priority, but we are certainly prepared,” military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said, adding: “We will continue to act wherever Hezbollah is present, we will continue to act wherever it is required in the Middle East. What is true for Lebanon is true for Syria, and is true for other more distant places.”

The comments followed the Israeli defense minister’s warning that a cease-fire in Gaza against Hamas wouldn’t mean Israel would stop attacking Hezbollah.

has attacked more than 50 Hezbollah targets in Syria and 3,400 in Lebanon since the war with Hamas in Gaza began in October, Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said.

“Since the beginning of the war, we have attacked, from the ground and air, more than 50 such targets of Hezbollah spread throughout Syria,” Hagari told reporters, adding that more than 3,400 similar strikes against the group had been carried out in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah has for years been fighting on the side of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in his country’s war, and is an ally of Palestinian Islamist group Hamas.
