US warns Iran of plans for ‘imminent’ ballistic missile attack on Israel.

The recent killing of Hezbollah’s leader has sparked tensions in the Middle East, with a US official warning of an imminent ballistic missile attack by Iran on Israel. The US is actively assisting Israel in its defensive preparations against such an attack, with White House officials expressing confidence in their intelligence findings. The Israeli military has taken preemptive measures by issuing warnings to evacuate Lebanese border communities and conducting limited ground operations against Hezbollah.

Iran, a key supporter of Hezbollah and Hamas, has not confirmed any plans for an attack. However, previous escalations between these groups have raised concerns about a wider conflict in the region that could involve Iran and the United States. In April, Iran launched a direct attack on Israel, but many of the projectiles were intercepted or failed to reach their intended targets. The US has deployed military assets in the region to support Israel in case of an attack.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged the challenges faced by Israel in combatting the Iranian “axis”. The Israeli army claims to have conducted ground raids in southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah’s weapons caches and infrastructure. Video footage released by Israel shows soldiers operating in homes and tunnels used by Hezbollah. If verified, this would be a blow to Hezbollah, a powerful armed group in the Middle East that has suffered recent losses.

The Lebanese army and UN peacekeeping force have not confirmed Israeli incursions into Lebanon, with the UN warning that any cross-border operation would violate Lebanese sovereignty. Hezbollah has dismissed claims of Israeli raids as false but has stated its readiness for direct confrontation. Israeli military spokespersons maintain that the ground raids are a necessary measure to ensure the safety of Israeli citizens and to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure near the border.

Hezbollah has escalated its attacks on Israel, launching rockets at central Israel and targeting border communities. Israeli retaliatory strikes have caused casualties and significant damage in Lebanon, leading to the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people. Hezbollah, having a large arsenal of rockets and missiles, has vowed to continue fighting despite the loss of key commanders in recent airstrikes. European countries, including the UK, have started evacuating diplomats and citizens from Lebanon amid escalating tensions.

In anticipation of a potential conflict, the UK has deployed troops to Cyprus to prepare for evacuating British citizens from Lebanon. The situation remains volatile as Israel and Iran are on high alert amidst threats of a ballistic missile attack. The US continues to support Israel’s defensive efforts, while the region braces for the possibility of a larger war involving multiple parties. The conflict between Israel, Hezbollah, and Iran underscores the fragile balance of power in the Middle East and the potential for further escalation.
