Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
Israel has intensified airstrikes targeting Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon amid a year-end deadline for the Lebanese government to disarm the Iran-backed group. Lebanese officials fear an impending large-scale Israeli military operation and are increasing diplomatic efforts to prevent escalation while reaffirming commitment to a ceasefire agreement. The Lebanese government blames Iran for supporting Hezbollah and faces pressure from Israel and the U.S. to establish state control over weapons. Although a U.S.-backed disarmament plan was agreed upon, Hezbollah has resisted efforts, threatening protests and unrest if disarmament is enforced, while Israel continues to strike Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
