On Thursday, Israel attacked “eight camps belonging to Hezbollah’s Radwan Force (elite unit)” in the Baalbek region, noting that they were being used to store “large quantities of combat means, including weapons and missiles” belonging to the party.

In recent days, Tel Aviv has intensified its strikes in areas of eastern Lebanon, due to tension between Iran and the United States, and the latter’s threat to Tehran with a military strike.

Lebanese officials expressed their fear that the Shiite party would interfere in any possible regional escalation between its supporter, Iran, and the United States, an ally of the Hebrew state.

However, a party official said on Wednesday that the group does not intend to intervene militarily if Washington launches “limited” strikes on the Islamic Republic, but he warned of a “red line” that is targeting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

A month ago, the party's Secretary-General, Naeem Qassem, warned that any new war against Iran "may ignite the region."

Although a ceasefire has been in effect since November 2024 that ended a war that lasted for more than a year between Hezbollah and Israel, the latter continues to launch strikes, especially on southern Lebanon, which it says are aimed at preventing the party from restoring its military capabilities.
