In a significant and alarming development, Lebanon’s Hezbollah has initiated its first-ever assault on Israeli military positions, utilizing explosive drones. This represents a perilous escalation in the enduring border clashes that have continued for more than three weeks.
This incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli forces at the Lebanese-Israeli border.
Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group backed by Iran, has claimed responsibility for launching explosive drones at Israeli military positions. In response, the Israeli army targeted multiple Hezbollah positions in Lebanon.
Tensions in the region have been on the rise due to the conflict between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, which began in the wake of the conflict between the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Israel on October 7. The Shebaa Farms area, a disputed region, has been a focal point of contention.
Hezbollah’s leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, is expected to deliver a speech on Friday, which will be closely monitored given the heightened tensions in the region. This development has raised concerns, and the international community is closely watching the situation as it unfolds.
