The Iranian-backed Hezbollah High Command issued a stark warning to Israel, declaring, “We are coming.” This ominous message was delivered via a video released by the group, escalating tensions in an already volatile region.
The announcement came after a violent exchange between the Israel Defense Systems (IDF) and Hezbollah. The conflict occurred in a disputed area within Israel’s borders, marking a significant escalation in hostilities.
This incident follows a devastating attack by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, which resulted in hundreds of Israeli casualties and thousands injured.

Hezbollah, an armed faction supported by Iran, launched guided rockets and artillery onto three posts in the Shebaa Farms area. They justified this act as a show of solidarity with the Palestinian people, following a multi-pronged attack by Palestinian terrorists on Israeli towns.
Senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine warned that the attack in Shebaa was a “message” to the Israelis and the US to cease their “foolishness,” or risk dragging the entire region into war. He emphasized neutrality was not an option for their nation, indicating a commitment to continued aggression.
Israel’s military responded swiftly to the threat, firing artillery into the area in Lebanon from where the cross-border fire originated.
An Israeli drone also struck a Hezbollah post in the area of Har Dov, another region in Shebaa Farms. The IDF has assured its citizens that it is prepared for such eventualities and will continue to operate in all regions and at any time necessary to ensure their safety.

Footage released by the IDF shows the destruction of Hezbollah tents and other infrastructure along the Lebanon border. This visual evidence serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict and the potential for further escalation.
Spokesman for Hezbollah, Ibrahim Al Moussawi, declared the “time of defeats has passed, and the time of victories has come.” He asserted the situation post-October 7 would be a strategic historical juncture, implying a significant shift in the balance of power in the region.
As tensions continue to rise, the international community watches with bated breath. The threat posed by Hezbollah not only endangers Israel but also threatens to destabilize the entire Middle East.
It is crucial for world leaders to take decisive action to prevent further escalation and ensure peace and stability in the region.
