New Delhi: Hezbollah's top commander Hashem Safieddin was killed in an Israeli attack in Beirut late Thursday night. Hashem was to take over the command of Hezbollah after Nasrallah's death. However, Hezbollah and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have not yet issued any official statement on the matter.

Secret meeting with security heads

According to the New York Times, Israel vowed to respond to Iran's missile attack on Tuesday. Israel is selectively destroying Hezbollah's bases. On Wednesday, PM Benjamin Netanyahu held a meeting with security chiefs, in which a plan was made to give a befitting reply to Iran. It was only after this planning that Israel attacked Hezbollah on Thursday and killed Hashem Safieddin. Let's know how Israel can take revenge from Iran?

Attack on Iranian military installations

According to news agency Reuters, some analysts believe that Israel could respond by targeting Iranian military installations. The IDF could destroy Hezbollah's bases that used ballistic missiles to attack Israel. Along with this, Israel could also destroy Iranian air defense systems and missile-launching facilities.

Attack on Iran's nuclear stockpile

Israel can attack Iran's nuclear sites. Attacking it can delay Tehran's ability to make nuclear weapons. Iran's nuclear sites are located in many places, some are even underground. However, an attack by Israel on its nuclear infrastructure can increase the chances of a major war. Along with this, America had also warned Israel not to attack nuclear sites.

Attack on Iran's petroleum installations

Experts believe that Israel can also attack Iran's petroleum industry to cause economic damage to Iran. This attack by Israel will not only cause great damage to Iran's economy, but such an attack will also have a great impact on oil production facilities in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Arab countries. This may increase the price of fuel in other countries including the West. Recently, US President Joe Biden had said that he would impose many sanctions on Iran.

There is also an option of cyber attack on Iran

A military response is considered the most likely, but there are also options that do not involve missile attacks or commandos. Apart from missile and military attacks, Israel can also launch a cyber attack on Iran. Because recently there were blasts in pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon, for which Hezbollah blamed Israel. In such a situation, it is being speculated that Israel can also launch a cyber attack on Iran.
