TEHRAN, Sept 01 - The Israeli regime has called off a planned massive military exercise over fear of a retaliatory attack by Hezbollah, reports said.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -The Israeli military has been on high alert after Hezbollah warned Israel of a 'surprise blow' in response to Israeli drone attacks in Lebanon.
“In the past week, IDF troops — including ground, air, naval and intelligence forces — have improved their preparedness for a variety of scenarios in the area of the Northern Command and the Galilee Division,” the Israeli army said in a statement, Israeli media reported.
Announcing the cancellation of the drill, it added that exercise planned for this week would instead be merged with another large-scale drill scheduled for September 8 to 12.
The decision came after Leader of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah Seyed
Hassan Nasrallah said on Saturday that Israel “must pay a price” for its last week attacks into a southern suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut.
He said giving a proper response to Israel over the drone incursions was about “establishing the rules of engagement and ... the logic of protection” for Lebanon.
“Israel should know that the Lebanese air space is not open to her,” said Nasrallah in a televised speech, adding that the Israel attack open the door to assassinations if left unanswered.
