Lebanon on edge as tensions rise after drone strike

Nasrallah must be cautious after Israel's recent elimination of Hamas leadership.

In the wake of a drone strike in southern Beirut, tensions are running high and speculation regarding the potential response is rampant. Lebanese officials have issued strong statements, vowing that the attack will not go unanswered, with some even suggesting that they have their finger on the trigger. The situation has caught the attention of retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, former National Security Advisor to Vice President Pence, and now co-chair of the America First Policy Institute Center for American Security.

General Kellogg has warned Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon, to exercise caution in his actions. Israel's Mossad and the CIA have made their intentions clear, promising to eradicate the Hamas leadership. David Barnea, the director of Mossad, likened the situation to the tragic 1972 Munich massacre of Israeli athletes and expressed resolve in pursuing those responsible. General Kellogg believes that Nasrallah should be mindful of his position, as he could find himself next on the hit list. However, whether Nasrallah will back down remains uncertain.
