After Israeli Threats, the Party Evacuates Its Positions in Lebanon

A source close to "Hezbollah" reported today, Sunday, that the party has evacuated its positions in southern and eastern Lebanon following Israeli threats of a "strong response" to the attack in Majdal Shams in the Syrian Golan. The source told the "AFP" agency, "The party has evacuated its positions in the south and Baalbek, which are believed to be natural targets for Israel." Hezbollah's presence is concentrated in the Baalbek region along the Syrian border and in southern Lebanon, where it has been exchanging fire with Israel almost daily since the onset of the war in Gaza between the Israeli army and Hamas. On Sunday, Israel vowed to "strike the enemy hard" after a rocket, which was attributed to Hezbollah, caused the death of 12 people in the Golan Heights and raised fears of an escalation in the conflict.
