Earlier today, the daily Lebanese newspaper Annahar reported today that an Israeli strike against Lebanon is imminent, citing a French diplomat. 

The French envoy said that Hezbollah's targeting of Israeli tanks and military positions in the occupied Shebaa farms makes an Israeli strike against Lebanon imminent. 

"There is no longer any doubt that Israel will conduct a strike against Lebanon, but the date of the strike is unknown," the French diplomat said, framing the expected Israeli strike against Lebanon as being a "retaliation by Israel against Hezbollah".
