A Hezbollah source told Al Jazeera that the group is exercising its right to respond to Israeli aggressions from a defensive position, aiming to force Israel to commit to a ceasefire. The source accused Israel of escalating to enshrine freedom of movement outside the framework of the Iranian-American agreement and to occupy the Ali al-Taher heights, gaining leverage over southern Lebanon. This comes as Israeli political circles consider a major escalation following a mass casualty incident involving IDF soldiers at the same heights, according to Israeli media.
