While no direct damage to the dam or its facilities was reported, the force of the blast caused rocks to fall into the lake, highlighting the dangerous proximity of Israeli aggression to critical Lebanese infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>#Hezbollah #QaraounDam #Lebanon #Israel #IsraeliAggression #Resistance #MiddleEast #WaterSecurity #InternationalCommunity #USSupport<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lebanon&#8217;s resistance movement Hezbollah issued a stern warning on Thursday, stating that recent Israeli claims regarding the detection of its members near the Qaraoun Dam in western Bekaa could serve as a fabricated pretext for targeting the vital dam or its surrounding areas.
