Israel draws clear 'red lines' with Iran and Hezbollah
According to TASS news agency on August 8, Israel's Channel 12 recently reported that the Israeli government has conveyed to Iran and the Shiite Hezbollah movement in Lebanon that civilian deaths due to their attacks would be a red line.
Accordingly, in this case, Israel will respond with a "disproportionate response". In addition, Israeli authorities are preparing for possible attacks on civilian infrastructure or various facilities abroad.
At the same time, so far, Israeli intelligence agencies have not received any information about the preparation of such attacks in other countries.
According to the TV channel, the Israeli government expected Hezbollah to attack before Iran.
Tensions in the Middle East have escalated following the assassination in Tehran of Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of the Palestinian Hamas movement, and the killing in Beirut of Hezbollah military commander Fouad Shokr. Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah have blamed Israel for the incidents and said they will not stand idly by.
