Hezbollah carried out a military exercise in the town of Armati, 20 kilometers from the "Blue Line" The exercise came days before the 23rd anniversary of Liberation Day, corresponding to May 25. It involved 200 members of the party who used live and heavy weapons, as well as a virtual simulation of the process of storming the separation wall.

The exercise is part of Iran's regional messages, says retired Brig. General Hisham Jaber. He believes that Israel does not want to be the first bullet fired at Lebanon, but rather wants to lure Hezbollah into initiating war.
