On the evening of August 6, an Israeli supersonic fighter jet broke the sound barrier over the Lebanese capital Beirut, just before Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah gave a televised speech to mark the one-week anniversary of the death of military commander Fuad Shukr, who was assassinated by Israel.
Earlier in the afternoon of the same day, Hezbollah also launched several suicide drones at military targets in the northern region of Israel.
In his speech, Mr. Nasrallah alleged that the sonic booms caused by Israeli planes flying low over Beirut were intended as provocation.
Reuters news agency quoted information from local TV channel al-Manar as saying, Hezbollah leader declared that he will not continue to act in a limited manner as before but will respond strongly to Israel.
Threatening to attack billion-dollar Israeli factories, Mr. Nasrallah stated: "All of these are located in the North of Israel; it took 34 years to build, but only half an hour to destroy all of them."
Meanwhile, on the Israeli side, Channel 12 reported on the same day that the Foreign Ministry had issued a document to all of the country's embassies around the world to be ready to respond in case Israel responds to attacks by Iran and Hezbollah.
The document makes clear that Israel will not let an attack by Iran or Hezbollah go unanswered, and instructs its missions abroad to contact their counterparts to explain the legality of Israel's actions, whatever they may be.
The document asks Israeli representatives to make clear that the country always prioritizes diplomatic solutions but is also determined to protect its citizens at all costs.
On the same day, August 6, the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry said that the country had organized a drill to prepare for the distribution of emergency food packages in case the conflict escalated.
The exercise, called “Bread of the Motherland,” involved checking the inventory and availability of food packages stored at emergency branches of major Israeli supermarket chains, and testing methods for transporting these packages to distribution centers when necessary.
