Reports: Israeli combat in Lebanon a matter of time amid concerns over Hezbollah response

The Israeli army is “prepared for several days of combat in Lebanon” and the issue is “a matter of time,” Israeli reports have quoted a senior Israeli military official as saying.

Concerns have meanwhile surfaced in the Israeli press over Hezbollah’s possible response to any operation in Lebanon.

“Hezbollah’s resumption of firing at Israel might escalate the situation in the region into an all-out war,” the reports said.

“The political leadership and the security and military agencies are not revealing their vision for the end-game of the days of combat and how they would guarantee that they would not lose control of the situation,” the reports added.
