Iran has instructed Hezbollah forces to raise their level of military readiness in preparation for a possible upcoming confrontation, Lebanese security and military sources told the Emirati site Erem News on Thursday.

According to the sources, all full-time Hezbollah members who receive monthly salaries were summoned, although it was emphasized that these directions were only preparations for a near-term scenario and not a final decision to go to war.

This is a developing story.
