Tensions are escalating on the Israel-Lebanon border as the Israeli military warned it was prepared to launch a large-scale attack in the north to deter the Iran-backed Islamist group Hezbollah.
Cross-border attacks from Lebanon led to large fires blazing through Israel’s northern region this week, consuming swathes of land and leading to the evacuation of residents. Israel attributed the blaze to rocket fire from southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah said it had launched a “swarm of drones” at Israeli military sites.
‘Strategic trap’ “Israel has been caught in a strategic trap up north,” Amos Harel, a defense analyst, wrote in Israeli newspaper Haaretz on Wednesday. “It has proven unable to force Hezbollah into a cease-fire as long as the fighting in Gaza continues, whereas the Lebanese organization has managed to create a kind of ‘security zone’ devoid of residents inside Israeli territory, despite suffering much higher losses than the IDF has.
