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, Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations stated on Friday night.
The statement added that however, the Zionist regime’s attack on Dahieh in Beirut and the targeting of a residential building 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,” the Iran mission said.
On Tuesday, the Israeli military launched an airstrike against a building in a suburb of Beirut, assassinating Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander and an advisor to the movement’s Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
Hezbollah and the Israeli regime have been exchanging fire since October last year, shortly after Tel Aviv launched a genocidal war on Gaza.
