Iran expects Hezbollah would hit 'broader, deeper' Israeli targets
Hezbollah’s response to the recent Israeli assassination of one of its top commanders would see the Lebanese Resistance group attacking "broader and deeper" Israeli targets, Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations said it expects, as reported by Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
The mission made the statement in response to questions about the nature of Hezbollah’s retaliation against the assassination of Sayyed Fouad Shokor (Hajj Mohsen).
"Until now, Hezbollah and the [Israeli] regime have, in an unwritten understanding, practically adhered to certain limits in their military operations, meaning that confining their actions to border areas and shallow zones, targeting primarily military objectives," explained a spokesperson for the mission on Friday night.
The spokesperson noted, however, that the Israeli aggression on Beirut "marked a deviation from these boundaries."
"We anticipate that, in its response, Hezbollah will choose both broader and deeper targets, and will not restrict itself solely to military targets and means."
When asked about the targets, the spokesperson indicated that they would be "within" the Israeli-occupied territories.
