Yesterday, an Israeli attack on the southern Lebanese city of Tyre killed a Hezbollah commander named Mohammed Naameh Nasser. Nasser was reportedly the head of the Aziz Unit, one of three units of Hezbollah forces along the southern border with Israel.
Hezbollah responded by firing over 200 rockets against northern Israel, targeting military sites, including the occupied Golan Heights. Israel reported that a number of the rockets, and an estimated 10 drones, were intercepted.
According to Israeli officials, one IDF reservist was killed. The strikes set several fires, which Israeli forces are still trying to get under control.
Both Israel and Hezbollah have been exchanging fire at increasing rates since October, fueling concerns that the situation will erupt into a full-scale Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon.
Reports are now circulating that Israel is planning to start an invasion in the latter half of July. This should be taken with a grain of salt, as previous reports appeared warning of a Lebanese war starting in mid-June as well as in the early spring.
What is clear is that both sides are escalating, and the danger of launching a serious war remains substantial. The international community continues to try to engage in talks to prevent the war, warning Israel that it is ill-prepared to fight a war on a second front while the Gaza War continues to rage.
The Likud can stop this in a few hours. Simply stop genociding, release the 20,000! Hostages, and accept the generous Palestinian offer of a lasting peace based on pre-1967 lines.
Instead of a lasting and secure peace, the Likud is going for all or nothing.
"lasting peace based on pre-1967 lines" LOL. That is not going to happen.
Right, it will be pre ‘48 lines.
All or Nothing ?
Those are losing odds for Israelis. Israelis deserve better.
""IDF Reservist Killed as Hezbollah Fires Over 200 Rockets at Northern Israel Military Targets""
ok one Israeli was officially killed but never do we hear about how many Arabs including hospitals and schools are killed every day, by Israelis.
Where have you been? Hamas issues the number of people killed every day. Hezbollah also update its loses.
”Let there be Peace on Earth and let it begin with me, with every step I take, a Peace for eternity!”
A nice way of being, for the earth and all of us!
Hit and run in Syria… but not in south Lebanon…!
Rockets are for kids. Come back to me when you lumped 200 missiles.
The timing is irrelevant. The war is inevitable, whether now or six months or six years from now. I've been waiting 18 years for this war. The governments of the US and Israel have been waiting even longer, but their intentions are absolutely clear, as are that of the Axis of Resistance.
Go Hezbollah…injure and remove the terrorist state of Israel from your territory. No mercy.
