It has also exchanged fire with Hezbollah across its northern border, with Israel Defense Forces spokesman Jonathan Conricus accusing the group of a dangerous escalation. “Is the Lebanese state really willing to jeopardise what is left of Lebanese prosperity and Lebanese sovereignty for the sake of terrorists in Gaza?
“IDF soldiers struck the cell before it was able to carry out the attack,” a statement from the military said.
