Escalating Tensions: Israel Warns of War with Hezbollah

A fire blazes on the Israel-Lebanon border amid increasing hostilities between Hezbollah and Israeli forces. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz issued a warning of an imminent all-out war with Hezbollah, despite U.S. efforts to prevent escalation. The situation intensified as Hezbollah threatened to attack Haifa, Israel’s third-largest city.

Hezbollah, backed by Iran, has been engaging in clashes with Israel for the past eight months. Israeli military sites were targeted with rockets and drones, leading to heightened tensions. Katz warned of changing the rules of engagement with Hezbollah, emphasizing the readiness of troops for offensive operations in Lebanon.

Amid diplomatic efforts by the U.S. and France to calm the situation, Hezbollah released surveillance footage of Israeli locations, causing distress among residents. The aim is to ensure the safe return of Israelis to their homes and prevent further conflict on the country’s borders.

Despite calls for ceasefire, the risk of a wider conflict looms, prompting concerns from international officials. The situation remains volatile as both sides brace for potential escalation.
