Iran Press / Middle East: Lebanon and Israel have no diplomatic relations and consider each other enemy states; they have been holding indirect talks brokered by the US for close to two years to resolve a maritime border dispute.
The new drilling platform at an offshore natural gas rig in the Mediterranean Sea at the Karish site sparked tensions. Israel claimed it is part of its UN-recognized exclusive economic zone, and Beirut insists it is in the disputed area.
Last month, the Zionist regime moved a production vessel to the natural gas field claimed by Lebanon, prompting officials in Beirut to warn that any drilling activity in the disputed area is considered a hostile act.
Whenever the Lebanese government declared that the Israeli regime violated the marine territories of the country, Hezbollah would step in to prevent the regimes' plundering the national petro-assets of the country through due tools, Sheikh Naim Qassem, deputy secretary general of Hezbullah, said at the time.
On Sunday, Hezbollah's Military Media Department released a video showing the Israeli platforms operating in the Mediterranean, warning the Zionist enemy of its attempts to plunder Lebanon's gas and oil fields.
According to Al-Manar, the video shows surveillance scenes taken from land and air, some from yesterday, for Israeli vessels at the Karish field near the Lebanese maritime borders.
Starting with Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah's warning that "procrastination is useless," the video shows Hezbollah's anti-ship missile readying to be launched.
The footage included detailed coordinates of Israeli platforms, showing their names and locations.
The one-minute video, which includes subtitles in Hebrew, concluded with "within our reach," referring to previous threats by Sayyed Nasrallah that all Israeli platforms and targets are within reach of the Lebanese Resistance missiles.
The video was released just hours before the US so-called 'mediator' Amos Hochstein arrived in Lebanon, probably holding a message from the Zionist entity concerning the maritime border talks and gas extraction.
Earlier this month, Sayyed Nasrallah warned the Israeli enemy that if Lebanon is prevented from extracting oil and gas off its shore, then the Zionist regime won't be able to do so.
