Israeli official says Hezbollah 'military commanders' to be targeted across Lebanon

Israel’s “battle” against Hezbollah will continue as long as the group “violates the ceasefire agreement,” Al-Arabiya TV quoted an Israeli security source as saying.

“The assassinations are limited to Hezbollah’s military rather than political targets and Hezbollah’s military commanders will be targeted across Lebanon,” the source added.

“The assassinations will continue in the future amid close monitoring of the emergence of any new Hezbollah commander,” the source said, adding that Israeli has “detected attempts by Hezbollah to rebuild its structures.”

The source however noted that “the rebuilding of Hezbollah’s structures will take years due to the major damage” they have sustained.

“We will not hesitate to strike any Hezbollah leadership level if it becomes a threat,” the source said.

Separately, the source said “there is no confirmation of direct cooperation between Hezbollah and Palestinian factions in Lebanon,” warning that Israel “will thwart” any such attempt.
