Israel takes precautionary measures fearing possible Hezbollah attack
The Israeli Air Force is working on reducing the response time of helicopter gunships deployed in north Israel over fears of a potential Hezbollah attack, Israel’s Maariv newspaper has reported.
“The army’s measures are aimed at providing an instant response to any infiltration of attempted attack against the border settlements, and at preventing a scenario similar to what happened in Gaza’s envelope,” Maariv added.
Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem on Tuesday reassured Israel over the “security” of its northern settlements, as he warned it against continuing its attacks in Lebanon.
“The aggression's continuation in this manner of killing and destruction cannot persist and everything has a limit. I will not say more and the relevant officials must pay attention,” he added.
