Hezbollah released this Tuesday images of military, commercial and residential sites in northern Israel collected, according to it, by a reconnaissance drone. The broadcast of these 9 minute 30 second videos comes as an American envoy, Amos Hochstein, began a visit to Israel and Lebanon to prevent the daily clashes which have lasted for almost nine months from turning into total war.

The good quality images broadcast by the Hezbollah show strategic sites supposed to be secret or unknown to the general public.
In the explanations which accompany the video images, Hassan Nasrallah’s party points to different buildings of a military-industrial complex belonging to the Authority for the Development of Armaments, known as Rafael.
The drone continues its course and flies over warships moored in the port of Haifa, petrochemical installations, oil tanks and the airport of this city located 30 km from the Lebanese border, filming as it passes the platforms of the Dome of iron or anti-aircraft missile component assembly warehouses.
Hezbollah wants to show it has a long list of potential targets
The aircraft passes over Kiryat Shmona, Nahariya and Safad in the Galilee and continues to the town of Afula, south of Haifa.
In this communication work, Hezbollah wants to show Israeli political and military leaders, but also public opinion in Israelthat he has a long list of well-identified and listed potential targets.
This video clearly serves as a deterrent at a time when fears of all-out war are growing.
Its broadcast comes as Joe Biden’s emissary, Amos Hochstein, began a visit to Israel and in Lebanon to avoid an escalation of the conflict.
