Israel has confirmed its role in two major attacks targeting Hezbollah, marking what Defense Minister Yoav Gallant called a “new era” of war. Explosions have shaken Lebanon, killing dozens and injuring thousands, pushing the region closer to widespread conflict.

Key Points:

  • Israel’s Involvement: After initially staying quiet, Israel has acknowledged its part in the attacks that killed and injured many in Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah forces.
  • Growing Tensions: On Wednesday, more explosions rocked Lebanon, killing 20 and injuring 450, just a day after the first deadly attacks.
  • Military Shifts: Israel is moving elite forces to its northern border, preparing for what may be a larger conflict with Hezbollah.
  • International Warnings: The UN and other global bodies are calling for calm, while Hezbollah vows retaliation, raising fears of a regional war.

With each side escalating its actions, the risk of a wider war in the Middle East grows. As Israel and Hezbollah continue their strikes, international calls for peace intensify to prevent a full-scale conflict.
