JERUSALEM: The Israeli military announced plans to execute a significant offensive against economic sites linked to Hezbollah in Lebanon, urging Lebanese citizens near these areas to evacuate immediately. The operation aims to undermine the financial stability and confidence in the Hezbollah organization, according to a statement by Israeli army Spokesman Daniel Hagari on Sunday. According to National Iraqi News Agency, Israeli army Spokesman Daniel Hagari indicated that the planned attacks would focus on critical economic properties associated with Hezbollah, an influential entity in Lebanon's economy. He emphasized that Hezbollah has been a significant employer in the region, providing an average salary of $500 to its activists, a figure affected by the devaluation of the Lebanese currency against the dollar. Hagari specifically mentioned that infrastructure linked to the Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association, affiliated with Hezbollah, would be targeted and advised residents to avoid these areas. The announcemen t follows a series of airstrikes by the Israeli air force targeting areas in the southern suburbs of Beirut. Concurrently, Hezbollah has launched attacks on Israeli military sites and border areas, including rocket barrages on towns in northern Israel. Notably, an air target was intercepted off the coast of Haifa without triggering any alarms. The escalating tensions highlight the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, raising concerns about potential impacts on regional stability and the civilian population in affected areas.
