Lebanon is experiencing growing concern that Hezbollah may not direct its weapons toward Israel first, but rather initiate a significant move against the local government in Beirut. Reporter Roi Kais noted for "Kan 11" that despite preparations for Hezbollah's potential involvement in a conflict between the U.S. and Israel against Iran, similar to its role in "Operation Lion's Roar," the Lebanese leadership is now primarily preoccupied with the internal arena. This is due to increasing pressure on the organization. A political source from the Lebanese camp opposing Hezbollah told "Kan News" that recent public threats from senior Hezbollah officials, warning the government against harming them, indicate preparations for an internal Lebanese move. Tensions between the parties have recently escalated further following the seizure of a truck laden with explosives belonging to the terrorist organization. In response to the heightened relations, the leadership in Beirut is currently holding special security discussions regarding the scenario of Hezbollah igniting the country from within. Concurrently, Lebanese parties opposing the organization have significantly increased security arrangements and precautions for their members.
