Israel Vows to Target Hezbollah Commanders Across Lebanon

Tensions remain high between Israel and Hezbollah as an Israeli security official, speaking to Al-Arabiya TV, asserted that military operations against the group will persist as long as it continues to breach the ceasefire terms. The source emphasized that the current strategy focuses exclusively on Hezbollah’s military apparatus rather than its political leadership.

Ongoing Targeted Strikes and Intelligence Efforts

According to the Israeli official, strikes are specifically aimed at Hezbollah’s military operatives, with commanders across Lebanon being placed under close surveillance. “Assassinations will continue,” the source warned, adding that Israel is closely tracking the rise of any new Hezbollah military leaders to prevent the group from reestablishing its command structure.

While acknowledging Hezbollah’s efforts to rebuild its military capabilities, the official remarked that these attempts are unlikely to succeed in the near term due to the extensive destruction already inflicted. “It will take years for Hezbollah to reconstruct its operational infrastructure,” the source stated.

Security Concerns Beyond Hezbollah

The security source also addressed concerns regarding potential coordination between Hezbollah and Palestinian factions operating within Lebanon. While Israel has not yet confirmed any such collaboration, the official warned that any attempts at joint operations would be actively intercepted. “We will thwart any emerging cooperation,” the official stated, highlighting the broader regional security risks Israel is monitoring.

This latest statement reflects Israel’s continued prioritization of neutralizing Hezbollah’s military threat while remaining alert to other regional dynamics that could escalate into broader conflict. The conflict between the two sides—rooted in decades of political, ideological, and territorial disputes—continues to simmer despite international efforts to uphold the ceasefire and prevent wider violence.
