The Israeli army continues to mobilize forces and mechanisms on the borders of Lebanon and in the occupied Syrian Golan, amid a state of alert in anticipation of a military response from the Lebanese Hezbollah, whose Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah confirmed that the response to the recent Israeli aggression with two drones was settled.

According to Al Jazeera correspondent in the Golan, Elias Kram that the occupation army began to mobilize more pieces of artillery and rocket launchers and tanks, and transferred from his camps in the occupied Golan to the Upper Galilee.

Airspace was also closed close to the Lebanese border, and aircraft traffic at the airstrip of the border town of Kiryat Shmona with Lebanon was halted.

The Northern Command in the Israeli army canceled maneuvers, and canceled all weekly leave in combat units, and kept them at the height of preparedness in anticipation of any emergency.

Israeli reinforcements included deploying iron dome batteries not far from the border fence in anticipation of rocket fire from Lebanon.

The preparations come after Hezbollah sources confirmed that the group would respond with a limited strike to Israel launching two booby-trapped planes last Sunday on the southern suburb of Beirut, which is known as the main stronghold of the group.

The planes were preceded by an Israeli raid on a site near Damascus, in which two Hezbollah members were killed, as part of a wider Israeli airstrike targeting what Tel Aviv calls Iran's arms in the region.

While Lebanese leaders, including President Michel Aoun, have stressed the unity of the internal position towards the recent Israeli aggression, the Israeli threats to Lebanon are frequent, and in this context, former Israeli Chief of Staff Benny Gantz waved yesterday evening to return to the "Stone Age" in case Hezbollah carried out an attack.

Nasrallah says Hezbollah's expected response is aimed at stabilizing equations of engagement with Israel

A definite response
In a speech yesterday to mark the first Ashura nights in Beirut's southern suburbs, Hizbullah's secretary-general said the "definitive response" would be open from within Lebanon and not a condition to be in the occupied Shebaa Farms.

Nasrallah added: "The issue for us is not a rehabilitation, but is linked to the establishment of equations and the rules of engagement and the logic of protection of the country," stressing that "the Israeli must pay the price of his aggression."

He also called for the start of a new phase by targeting and dropping Israeli planes flying in Lebanese airspace, so that the Israelis feel that the sky of Lebanon is not permissible, as he put it.

"This does not mean that the party will shoot down every drone on a daily basis," he said, adding that the nature of the Lebanese resistance's response to the recent Israeli strike was known to very few, and that it was now up to the field commanders who knew what to do.

He also stressed that the party does not have factories for precision missiles, but it has enough of these missiles, noting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is looking for an argument for the attack to impose new rules of engagement.

Nasrallah said the two planes that struck Beirut's southern suburb a week ago were packed with explosives, warning that Israeli drones were opening the door to killings and assassinations in Lebanon.

Israeli media claimed that the drone strike targeted a site containing equipment for manufacturing rockets.

It is noteworthy that Hezbollah targeted in 2015 and 2016 Israeli patrols in the occupied Shebaa Farms in response to the Israeli aircraft targeting Hezbollah targets in Syria.
