Iran says it expects Hezbollah to hit deeper inside Israel

TEHRAN: Iran said on Saturday it expected Lebanon's Tehran-backed Hezbollah to strike deeper into Israel and no longer confine itself to military targets after Israel killed a Hezbollah military commander. Hezbollah has been exchanging fire with Israeli forces almost daily, saying it has been targeting military positions across the border since its Palestinian ally Hamas launched an attack on Israel on October 7, triggering a war in Gaza. But the calculations changed after Israel claimed airstrikes in crowded residential areas of South Beirut, Iran's mission to the United Nations said.
