333716

European diplomats are expressing concerns over the escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, warning of a potential spillover into Lebanon. As the Gaza war continues, the risk of a wider conflict in the Middle East is growing.

Hezbollah has launched attacks on Israeli towns and military sites, vowing to continue until a cease-fire is reached in Gaza. The situation has raised fears of a full-fledged war between Israel and Hezbollah, with Lebanese border areas at risk.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated a shift in focus towards the northern border with Lebanon, potentially sending more troops to confront Hezbollah. The U.N. Secretary-General also voiced concerns over the escalating tensions, emphasizing the need to prevent Lebanon from becoming another Gaza.
