Israeli leaders are issuing stern warnings to Hezbollah as tensions rise, but experts believe a full-scale war is still unlikely.
Hezbollah, backed by Iran, has been using drones to target Israeli military positions, causing forest fires, and even firing anti-aircraft missiles at Israeli warplanes.
While the violence has escalated, Hezbollah has refrained from launching deep strikes into Israel, with its leader Nasrallah stating they have only used a fraction of their arsenal.
In response, Israel has intensified strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon, resulting in casualties on both sides.
Despite bellicose statements from Israeli leaders, Hezbollah has expressed a desire to avoid total war. International leaders are calling for restraint to prevent further escalation.
Analysts believe both sides may be preparing for negotiations, rather than all-out war, as the situation on the Israeli-Lebanese border remains precarious.
While the risk of war looms, past conflicts between Israel and Hezbollah have ended with fragile peace agreements, emphasizing the need for a diplomatic solution.
