[Global Network Report] According to the US "Axios" news network on August 25 local time, the conflict between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah has escalated, and both sides advocated launching a strike against the other side on the 25th and succeeded. According to reports, sources said that Israel informed the United States and fully coordinated before launching a "preemptive" strike.

Axios said that US and Israeli officials said that intelligence obtained by the US and Israel in recent days showed that Hezbollah was preparing to launch a retaliatory action. The latest intelligence on the morning of the 24th local time showed that Hezbollah was preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Israel at 5 a.m. local time on the 25th.

The report mentioned that IDF spokesman Hagari said that the Israeli army launched a "preemptive" strike against Hezbollah in Lebanon a few minutes before 5 a.m. on the 25th.

Regarding the Israeli army's claim of a "preemptive" strike, Axios reported that a senior Israeli official said that Israel had informed the United States in advance before carrying out the attack. He said, "Israel took action against Hezbollah alone, but it was fully coordinated with the United States. The Biden administration did not receive the latest news in the 90th minute." The report said that the "90th minute" refers to the last moment of a football match.

As for the US government's response to the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the report said that Sean Savit, a spokesman for the US National Security Council, said in a statement that US President Biden is "closely following events in Israel and Lebanon" and "at his direction, senior US officials have been in communication with their Israeli counterparts."

The report also stated that later on the 25th, US Secretary of Defense Austin discussed Israel's military actions in a phone call with Israeli Defense Minister Galant, and Austin emphasized the US's "determination to support Israel's national defense." They also discussed "the importance of avoiding escalation of the regional situation."

On the other hand, "Axios" said that regarding the conflict on the 25th, both Israel and Hezbollah advocated to strike each other and achieved significant success. The Israeli military announced that after detecting that Hezbollah was preparing to launch a "large-scale" attack, it launched a "preemptive" strike on Hezbollah targets. Israeli Defense Minister Galant said that Hezbollah's attempt to attack Israel on the morning of the 25th failed. Hezbollah issued a statement denying it and announced that it would launch a large number of drones and rockets at Israel in retaliation for Israel's air strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, which killed its military leader Shukur last month, and announced that the first phase of the attack was a success.
