Israel claimed to have details on the locations of all Hezbollah bases and said that they could attack anywhere in Lebanon. Cairo negotiations are on the way where Israel and Hamas are participating. Today’s strikes will add to the escalation of tensions.

Israel said that large – scale war preparation by Hezbollah  was observed near the Israel border, and that’s the reason for preemptive strikes. Hezbollah is an Iran backed terrorist group operating in Lebanon. Amidst growing fears that Iran would retaliate to revenge the killing of  Haniyeh- the political chief of Hamas  in the midst of a presidential function on Irnian soil, Iran’s silence  so far is adding to the existing tensions.
