Clashes at Lebanon-Israel border raise fears of wider war
The recent clashes at the Lebanon-Israel border have raised concerns about the possibility of a wider war.
While the fighting has been contained within a small area, it has the potential to escalate and draw in various actors, including Iran and the United States.
Hezbollah, an Iran-backed armed group, dominates southern Lebanon and operates alongside Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria.
The situation has gained more attention as the conflict between Hamas and Israel continues to escalate, with a rising civilian death toll.
The United States has deployed two of its largest aircraft carriers to the eastern Mediterranean, indicating the seriousness of the situation.
The clashes started as a low-rumbling exchange of fire between Lebanon-based militants and Israeli forces.
However, the situation escalated when a Reuters journalist and several international journalists were killed in an Israeli strike.
Hezbollah then launched a series of strikes at Israeli targets, followed by a barrage of artillery fire from Israel.
The group's attacks have demonstrated their precision and sophistication, using Russian anti-tank guided missiles.
These videos released by Hezbollah have played a significant role in the psychological warfare of this conflict.
Hezbollah has significantly built up its arsenal since the 2006 Lebanon-Israel war, where it foiled Israel's plan to dismantle the group.
They now possess precision-guided missiles and have gained extensive experience in urban warfare from fighting in Syria.
Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has previously mentioned the possibility of conducting an incursion into northern Israel if war erupts again.
The group's capabilities and intentions have raised concerns among Israeli and US officials.
The situation at the Lebanon-Israel border remains tense, and the world is watching with bated breath.
The fear of a wider war and the involvement of various actors, coupled with the rising death toll and the deployment of US aircraft carriers, underscores the seriousness of the situation.
The next steps are uncertain, and world leaders continue to monitor the border closely.
