On the evening of August 6th, Israeli supersonic fighter jets broke the sound barrier over the Lebanese capital Beirut, just before Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah delivered a televised speech marking one week since the death of military commander Fuad Shukr, who was assassinated by Israel.
Earlier that afternoon, Hezbollah also launched multiple suicide drones at military targets in northern Israel.
In his speech, Nasrallah accused the sonic boom caused by the Israeli aircraft flying low over Beirut of being a provocative act.
Reuters , citing information from the local television channel al-Manar , reported that The Hezbollah leader declared that they would no longer act with restraint as before, but would respond forcefully to Israel.
Threatening to attack Israeli factories worth billions of dollars, Nasrallah stated: "All of this is located in northern Israel; it took 34 years to build, but only half an hour to destroy it all."
Meanwhile, on the Israeli side, Channel 12 reported that the Foreign Ministry had issued a document to all its embassies worldwide to prepare for a response should Israel retaliate against attacks by Iran and Hezbollah.
The document states that Israel will not allow an attack by Iran or Hezbollah to go unanswered, and instructs its overseas missions to contact their counterparts to clarify the legitimacy of Israel's actions, whatever those actions may be.
The document requests that Israeli diplomatic missions clarify the country's position that it always prioritizes diplomatic solutions but is also determined to protect its citizens at all costs.
On the same day, August 6th, the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry announced that the country had conducted drills to prepare for the distribution of emergency food packages in the event of escalating conflict.
The exercise, dubbed "Mother Earth's Bread," involved checking inventory and the readiness of food packages stored at emergency branches of major Israeli supermarket chains, as well as testing methods for transporting these packages to distribution centers when needed.
