Israel has announced its readiness for any potential retaliatory attacks by Hezbollah following the killing of one of its top commanders. The Iran-backed militant group has been threatening to retaliate against Israel in response to recent targeted killings of key figures in Iran-backed groups.
Among the recent casualties were Hezbollah’s senior military commander, Fu’ad Shukr, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, and Hamas’ political leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in Tehran.
