The sources also said that Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri is currently supporting Hezbollah's activities.
Israel, meanwhile has pinned hopes on Hariri's seeming lack of support for the escalation, which caused internal conflicts in Lebanon.

Israel responded by sending warplanes and artillery to attack 50 targets in southern Lebanon.
