NYT: Israel prepares for expected attacks by Iran and Hezbollah

NYT: Israel prepares for expected attacks by Iran and Hezbollah
09.08.2024 10:30
Israel is girding for widely anticipated retaliatory attacks by Iran and Hezbollah, telling its people this week to stock up on food and water in fortified safe rooms, while hospitals prepare to move patients to underground wards and search-and-rescue teams position themselves in major cities, reported from The New York Times.

The Israeli government’s security cabinet convened on Thursday night as speculation continued over how the country’s enemies might respond to the killing of a Hezbollah leader in Lebanon, and of Hamas’s top official while he was visiting Iran. Diplomats across the Middle East and elsewhere have tried to tamp down the tensions amid fears that the Israel-Hamas war raging in the Gaza Strip could broaden into a much bigger conflict across the region.

Intelligence has been sparse and changes frequently. But two Israeli officials and a senior Western intelligence official said thatbased on the latest information, Hezbollah, the Lebanese armed group closely allied with Iran, will likely strike first in a separate attack before Iran conducts its own retaliation. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, and did not provide further details about the potential attacks.

Israeli officials say they are ready for any potential attack by Iran and its proxies.
