New footage broadcast by foreign media shows the moment a missile hit the Israeli military speedboat “Dvora” killing 1 Israeli soldier and injuring several others.

It has not yet been determined whether it was a Hezbollah strike or an Iron Dome interceptor missile that mistakenly saw the vessel as an enemy entity.

Meanwhile, a Hezbollah official said the Shiite Lebanese movement’s response to Israel over the killing of one of its commanders was delayed “for political reasons” and mainly because of ongoing talks on a cease-fire agreement in the war in the Gaza Strip and the release of Israeli hostages. .

The official, in written statements distributed to the press, noted that Hezbollah had “worked” to ensure that its response to the July 30 killing of Fouad Shukr would not trigger a full-scale war.
