Israel attacked several military posts of Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon on January 28. According to reports from Hezbollah-affiliated Channel 26, the attack targeted multiple Hezbollah strongholds.
In response, Hezbollah warned that they are capable of launching about a thousand missiles against the Israeli city of “Tel Aviv” within two hours. This escalation comes amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza.
The attack by Israel resulted in the death of a Hezbollah militiaman and a civilian woman, according to reports from The Associated Press. This development threatens to further exacerbate the tensions in the region, with Hezbollah retaliating by launching missiles at Israeli forces in support of Hamas.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has already claimed numerous lives and caused widespread destruction in Gaza. The latest escalation with Hezbollah in Lebanon raises concerns of a broader regional conflict. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold and whether efforts to de-escalate the violence will be successful.
