The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has been escalating, with Hezbollah launching its largest rocket offensive against Israel in recent weeks. The Lebanese militia fired 170 projectiles, targeting military positions in response to the killing of one of its commanders. The Israeli defense systems intercepted most projectiles, with no reported casualties. This escalation raises the risk of a full-scale war, with internal pressure in Israel mounting for decisive action. The situation has led to evacuations on both sides of the border, as tensions continue to rise.
Large-scale offensive
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of intense action in the north, while Hezbollah’s second-in-command stated readiness for battle. The possibility of all-out war looms, as Hezbollah links its offensive to the Gaza situation. Both sides are prepared for a potential escalation, with decisions looming on the brink of conflict.
