Hezbollah has criticized Israel's characterization of its recent strike as 'preemptive,' dismissing the claims as 'baseless' and 'contradictory to the facts on the ground.' The group has vowed to address Israel's assertions in a speech to be delivered by its leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
The Israeli military had previously stated that the strikes against Hezbollah targets were conducted as a 'self-defense act' aimed at neutralizing identified threats. Israel's actions have sparked a war of words between the two adversaries, with Hezbollah vehemently denying the preemptive nature of the Israeli strike.
Hezbollah's response underscores the deep-rooted animosity and ongoing tensions between the militant group and Israel. The conflicting narratives from both sides highlight the complex geopolitical dynamics at play in the region.
As the situation continues to unfold, the international community closely monitors the developments between Hezbollah and Israel, wary of any escalation that could further destabilize the already volatile Middle East.
