Israel Threatens Ground Operation in Southern Lebanon
Former War Cabinet member Benny Gantz issued a warning to Hezbollah on Tuesday, stating that if the group continues to launch rockets at Israel, Tel Aviv will carry out a ground operation in southern Lebanon. Gantz emphasized Israel’s right to defend itself and restore security in the region.
With discussions about the possibility of occupying a “buffer security zone” in southern Lebanon ongoing, tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have escalated. The recent airstrikes by the Israeli army in Lebanon have resulted in civilian casualties and raised concerns about a broader regional conflict.
The international community has expressed alarm at the situation, urging all parties to exercise restraint and avoid further escalation of the conflict. Resolution 1701, adopted by the UN Security Council, calls for a complete cessation of hostilities between Lebanon and Israel, emphasizing the need for peace and stability in the region.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains crucial for all parties to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy to prevent further loss of life and ensure lasting peace in the Middle East.
