The Israeli military has been preparing for conflict with Hezbollah since 2006, and recent attacks signal a new phase in the standoff. The goal is to prevent Hezbollah from launching large-scale attacks and potentially force concessions regarding their proximity to the Israeli border.
Ceasefire talks with Hamas have stalled, leading Israel to focus on Hezbollah. With tens of thousands of Israelis displaced due to ongoing violence, returning them home has become a key objective for Israel.
The escalation in the conflict highlights the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region, with multiple factions vying for power and control. The situation remains volatile, with the potential for further violence looming.
