Hezbollah Prepares Military Escalation Plan Against Israel Awaiting Iran's Green Light
Hezbollah is developing a comprehensive military escalation plan targeting northern Israeli communities, awaiting approval from the Iranian regime before launching attacks. The group has begun reinforcing frontline positions north of the Litani River as part of its preparations. Lebanese sources told Iram News that Hezbollah's escalation depends on the level of American strikes against Iran following recent military confrontations or on Washington granting Israel permission to attack Iranian infrastructure.
The timing of the operation, referred to as "Zero Hour," will not be decided independently by Hezbollah but will be dictated by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) based on geopolitical developments and dynamics with the United States. Hezbollah is currently conducting secretive preparations, including stockpiling supplies, equipment, and food for the long term. Militants are being covertly relocated to designated hideouts and frontline positions.
The plan assumes that once the official order is received, Hezbollah forces will rapidly reposition and execute terror attacks in northern Israel with close Iranian support. "Zero Hour" is intended to be part of a broader multi-front campaign. The decision to initiate the conflict will be coordinated directly from a joint command center in Tehran led by the IRGC's Quds Force, reflecting Iran's strategic needs in response to attacks on its nuclear facilities or as part of a wider regional confrontation, rather than any local Lebanese interests.
