Hezbollah dramatically escalated the risk of a full-scale war on Wednesday by releasing a shocking video that showcases sensitive Israeli military and civilian locations.

The aerial footage captures residential areas in Israel’s north, including shopping malls, high-rises, and vehicles. It exposes sensitive locations like an IDF military base and Iron Dome batteries, missile storage facilities, and radar installations housed at weapons manufacturer Rafael near Haifa.

Hezbollah’s propaganda stunt also taunts Israeli navy ships, oil depots, and a combat diving unit headquartered at Haifa’s port – a crucial maritime hub with billions in economic interests from companies across the world.

In a scathing response, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz declared that the Jewish state is “getting very close” to declaring war against the Iran-backed terror proxy.

“We are getting very close to the moment of deciding to change the rules of the game against Hezbollah and Lebanon,” Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz wrote on X. “In an all-out war, Hezbollah will be destroyed, and Lebanon severely beaten,” he added.

Hezbollah’s latest provocation comes amidst a war started by Iran’s other proxy, Hamas, following its unprovoked massacre against Israel on October 7. After firing approximately 5,000 rockets, missiles, and drones at northern Israel since that fateful day, Hezbollah has claimed solidarity with Hamas’ genocidal doctrine.

According to CNN, Hezbollah’s video may be the handiwork of spies operating within Israel’s borders, meticulously documenting targets for future attacks. Its alarming level of detail stresses the urgent need for Israel to root out this insidious threat for its own survival.

As Israel teeters on the edge of a second full-scale war, the Biden administration is hoping to find a diplomatic solution by reportedly sending an envoy to the region. However, with Hezbollah’s insatiable thirst for Jewish blood, the time for diplomatic solutions may be over.
