In the wake of recent Israeli airstrikes targeting Lebanons Al-Qard financial institute, Hezbollah has issued a warning, identifying significant Israeli infrastructure as potential retaliation targets. The militant group has pointed to several high-value industrial sites across Israel, emphasising their importance to the countrys economy and stability.Among the sites Hezbollah considers legitimate targets are chemical plants valued at an estimated $31 billion. These facilities, critical to Israels industrial and agricultural sectors, could suffer devastating consequences if attacked. Additionally, Hezbollah has marked $76 billion worth of technology factories for potential strikes. Israels high-tech industry is a global leader, and any damage to these facilities would impact both domestic and international markets.After Israeli airstrikes targeting Lebanese Al-Qard financial institute, Hezbollahs legitimate targets in Israel now include:- $31 billion worth of chemical plants- $76 billion in technology factories- $9.7 billion worth of power plants- $12 billion in food production… pic.twitter.com/iLcd8OKwSW— War Intel (@warintel4u) October 20, 2024Energy and food production at riskHezbollah also outlined its intentions to target Israels power plants, valued at $9.7 billion. A successful attack on these power facilities would likely result in widespread energy shortages, affecting millions of citizens and businesses. Furthermore, $12 billion worth of food production facilities have been listed as potential targets. Disruptions to food supply chains could have a profound impact on both the local economy and the daily lives of Israelis.Ongoing tensions escalatingThis development comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, following the airstrikes on the Al-Qard financial institute in Lebanon. Both sides have engaged in tit-for-tat actions, increasing concerns of further military escalations in the region. Israeli officials have yet to respond directly to Hezbollahs latest threats, but they have historically taken such warnings seriously, reinforcing key infrastructure and preparing for possible retaliatory actions.
