The New York Times reported that the recent special operation carried out by Israel in the Masyaf area in central Syria was the “first shot” in its new campaign against the Lebanese Hezbollah, which is still ongoing.
The operation, which took about 15 minutes, took place on September 8, and targeted the secret scientific research center, the newspaper reported on Sunday.
In 2018, Aziz Asbar, one of Syria’s most important missile scientists, was killed in Masyaf by a car bomb apparently planted by Mossad, according to the New York Times.
The newspaper added that the facility, known locally as the “Scientific Research Center,” was located only about 30 miles from the Lebanese border.
For this reason, Israeli and American officials say, Hezbollah was manufacturing weapons there instead of Iran.

Israeli aircraft launched an airstrike on an apartment building in the Cola area in the center of the Lebanese capital Beirut at dawn on Monday, in the first airstrike on the city since the opening of the southern front.

The targeted apartment is located next to the home of former MP Najah Wakim, who was not present at the time of the bombing.
The Israeli army says that the strikes are targeting headquarters and weapons depots belonging to Hezbollah.
The violent raids carried out by the Israeli army on Sunday resulted in the deaths of 105 people and the injury of 359 others, and caused the displacement of about one million people, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

Immediately after the news broke, Khamenei chaired a meeting of the Supreme National Security Council at his home, which was divided over the appropriate response to Israel.
In this meeting, conservative members, including Saeed Jalili, believed that Iran should respond quickly by launching an attack on Israel to avoid expanding the war towards Tehran, according to the newspaper.
Iran’s official position was expressed by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who stressed that Hezbollah, not Iran, would lead any response to Israel, and that Iran’s role would be a supporting one.
When these goals are achieved, “Hezbollah can plan its revenge against Israel.”
Abtahi described the general mood of Iranian officials after the strike as “shock, anger, sadness and a lot of anxiety,” stressing that Iran “will not back down from supporting armed groups in the region, and will work to calm tensions with the West at the same time.”

On Saturday, Biden said the killing of Lebanese Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike was “a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of American, Israeli and Lebanese civilians.”
He added that America “fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and any other Iranian-backed terrorist groups.”
The Israeli military said on Saturday that Nasrallah was killed in a strike on the group’s underground headquarters under a residential building in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Friday.
The Lebanese Hezbollah group later confirmed the death of its secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah.
Nasrallah’s death is a devastating blow to the group, which has been targeted by an escalating campaign of Israeli attacks, and to Iran, given his prominent role in the so-called axis of resistance in the region, which is backed by Tehran.

He also “did not separate the fate of Hezbollah and Lebanon from the fate of the fighters lurking in Gaza.
At the time of the Oslo Accords in 1993 between Israel and the PLO, there was a ‘philosophical debate’ about the peace agreement, but that era is gone.” Nasrallah made Hezbollah a powerful movement, and it was very strong, very disciplined, and over time it was able to control power and take it from the Lebanese state. “Hezbollah’s elements seemed different from the rest of the Lebanese militias.
Even Nasrallah felt he had gone too far, telling a television network: “We did not believe, not even 1%, that the kidnapping would lead to a war at this time and on this scale.
If you had asked me on July 11 whether the operation would lead to that war and whether I would do it? I would have said absolutely not.” Despite the 2006 war, Nasrallah continued to set a trap for the Israelis.
Fighting was the hallmark of their career, and without the cloak of resistance, Hezbollah would have lost its justification for overcoming the Lebanese state.

He said during the military analysis segment on Al Jazeera that there are reports that the Israeli army is preparing for a possible ground operation in southern Lebanon, and he identified 3 possible scenarios for this operation.
As for the third scenario, it represents – according to Hanna’s opinion – a combination of the two previous scenarios, with the addition of landing operations and special operations deep inside Lebanese territory.
Regarding Israeli preparations, Hanna indicated that Israel has mobilized 6 military divisions, in addition to two additional divisions and reserve brigades, but he stressed that the most important question relates to the ability of these forces to remain and control Lebanese territory in the event of an incursion.
Regarding Hezbollah’s strategy at the current stage, Hanna said, "The first goal is to confirm the preservation of Hezbollah’s capabilities and steadfastness, but while waiting to achieve this goal, and to reconfigure the military dimension and readiness, Hezbollah continues to launch missiles as usual."
