Islamic terrorist group Hezbollah could attack Israel regardless of what Iran decides to do to avenge the deaths of two Islamist leaders in Lebanon and Tehran, CNN reported, citing unnamed intelligence sources.
The Lebanon-based Shiite Islamic terrorist group is moving faster than Iran in its planning and is looking to attack Israel in the coming days, one of the sources told CNN.
Iran, meanwhile, appears to be still working on how it plans to respond, several officials explained to the US network, adding that Tehran had made some, but not all, preparations before a major attack on Israel.
But given Lebanon's proximity to Israel as its direct neighbor to the north, Hezbollah could act more quickly and without warning, a second source familiar with the intelligence said.
As such, it is unclear whether Iran and Hezbollah are coordinating a possible attack at this time, the sources added, and there is a sense that the two may not be fully aligned on how to move forward.
The looming attacks would come in response to Israel's elimination last week of Hezbollah's top military commander, Fuad Shukr, in Lebanon, and the head of the political office of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran, which the ayatollah regime attributes to the Jewish State.

Hesbollah cannot be treated the same as Iran
Hesbolla must be attacked as if it were the last day of the earth. Just show Iran that we can destroy it whatever we want and that they can't do anything.
To hesbolla x air sea and land, I don't give a damn about international conventions. 50 km inside there is nothing or no one left.
