The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that on Saturday morning, they targeted a "large military complex" used by Hezbollah militants in "Al-Rihani" in southern Lebanon with an airstrike. Along with this announcement, the Israeli army released a video of their airstrikes, showing two visible explosions. This attack occurred a day after the Israeli army conducted several airstrikes targeting "military buildings" used by Hezbollah fighters in various areas in southern Lebanon. Additionally, on Friday, 40 rockets were fired from Lebanon towards northern Israel, for which Hezbollah claimed responsibility. In recent days, clashes between the Hezbollah group in Lebanon, which is supported by the Islamic Republic, and the Israeli army have intensified. This comes amid growing speculation in recent hours and days about a retaliatory attack by the Islamic Republic against Israel. During an attack attributed to Israel on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 2, seven senior commanders and members of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were killed. Since then, the leader and other officials of the Islamic Republic have threatened a retaliatory attack against Israel. Meanwhile, an Israeli army spokesman announced on Thursday that the country's military forces are fully prepared for an attack from the Islamic Republic. According to a report from the Times of Israel, Zahidi was a member of the "Hezbollah Lebanon Council." Israeli and Palestinian officials downplay reports of progress in Cairo negotiations. Hezbollah Lebanon: The response from the Iranian government is on the way; Israel: We are prepared with layered defense.
