Hezbollah terrorists claimed responsibility for launching a drone attack against Israel on Monday amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. The threat of a larger assault looms following recent incidents, including the killing of Hamas' top political leader in Iran and a Hezbollah commander in Beirut.
Hezbollah stated that the attack was in retaliation for alleged Israeli 'attacks and assassinations.' Iran has issued strong warnings to Israel, with General Hossein Salami threatening repercussions for what he termed as Israel's mistakes, cautioning that Israel was 'digging its own grave.'
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Nasser Kanaani, emphasized Iran's right to self-defense and vowed to take decisive action to ensure security. He called for international support in holding Israel accountable for its actions.
Accusations have been exchanged between Iran and Israel, with Iran alleging Israeli interference in its nuclear research program and targeting of Iranian nuclear scientists. Salami condemned Israel's actions as acts of terrorism and obstruction of Iran's peaceful nuclear pursuits.
Israel, on the other hand, has maintained its readiness to respond to any aggression from Iran or its proxies. The situation remains tense as both sides exchange threats and accusations, raising concerns of a potential escalation into a larger conflict.
