Lebanon’s Hezbollah group warned on Thursday that Israeli claims about detecting movements by its members near the Qaraoun Dam in western Bekaa could be a pretext for targeting the dam or its surroundings.

The warning came in response to an earlier statement by the Israeli military, which claimed it had detected Hezbollah members near the area of the dam.

In a statement, Hezbollah said: “We warn that these fabricated allegations and pretexts could be paving the way for a new Israeli attack targeting the Qaraoun Dam or its surroundings, or targeting civilian and vital facilities in Lebanon.”
