The ongoing war between the US-Israel and Iran is increasing tensions in the Middle East day by day, while concerns are growing that the conflicts could spread across the region. As the possibility of Hezbollah, one of Iran's strongest allies in the region, becoming part of the war is being discussed, a noteworthy preparation news has come from the Israeli front.
THE TARGET THIS TIME IS LEBANON
It has been reported that the Israeli army is preparing for a long-term military operation against Hezbollah, based in Lebanon. According to the British newspaper Financial Times, the Israeli administration is working on a comprehensive and long-term operation plan due to the increasing tensions on the northern border.
LONG-TERM MILITARY OPERATION EXPECTED
The report stated that the Israeli army has prepared a large-scale strategy aimed at weakening Hezbollah's military capacity. It was expressed that the plan would not be limited to short-term airstrikes, but could include a long-term military operation that may also involve ground elements.
It is noted that Israel sees Hezbollah's missile and drone capacity along the Lebanese border as a serious threat. The report also mentioned that the Israeli army has recently increased its military preparations on the northern front and has shifted its troops to the region.
THEY WILL TARGET HEZBOLLAH'S MISSILE INFRASTRUCTURE
Some security sources speaking to the Financial Times reported that the Israeli administration is preparing for the possibility that the tension with Hezbollah could escalate into a larger conflict. According to the sources, the Tel Aviv administration is working on a comprehensive military plan targeting Hezbollah's missile infrastructure in the event of a possible conflict.
On the other hand, there have been frequent mutual attacks along the border between Israel and Hezbollah in recent months. The Israeli army occasionally conducts airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah responds with rocket and missile attacks on Israel.
ISRAEL'S ATTACKS ON LEBANON
In a statement made by the Israeli army on March 2, it was mentioned that sirens were activated in the northern part of the country after detecting missile launches from Lebanon.
The Israeli army, which announced that it had launched airstrikes across Lebanon targeting the capital Beirut, had decided to expand its ground invasion in Lebanon, where it conducted intense attacks from the air and sea.
According to the latest statement from the Lebanese Ministry of Health, the number of people killed in the attacks carried out by Israel on Lebanon since March 2 has risen to 486, while the number of injured has reached 1,313.
Experts indicate that Israel's preparation for a long-term operation against Hezbollah could increase the risk of the ongoing war between the US-Israel and Iran spreading to a new front and further escalate tensions in the region.
