The Israeli press announced this: A new front in the war may open at any moment.
While the attacks on Gaza in the Israeli-Palestinian war, which has entered its third week, raise eyebrows around the world, concerns about the possibility of the war spreading to the region are growing.
As the Israeli army continues its preparations for a ground operation in Gaza, clashes between Israel and the Hezbollah organization intensify on the Lebanese border in the north. An Israeli soldier was killed yesterday on the border with Lebanon, which is said to be the second front of the war.
According to the Yediot Ahronot newspaper, a reserve soldier serving in the Israeli army was killed and three soldiers were wounded in anti-tank fire launched from southern Lebanon.
Thus, the number of Israeli soldiers killed in attacks on the Lebanese border since October 8 increased to 3. 12 Hezbollah members lost their lives in the attacks.
Israeli television i24NEWS commented on the latest situation on the Lebanese border: “The northern border can become a new front in this war at any moment.”
Israel has accelerated its military deployment on the Lebanese border, where clashes have increased
HIZBULLAH INCREASED ATTACKS AGAINST ISRAEL
As tensions rose, Lebanese Hezbollah announced that it had recently attacked the Hunin settlement near the Margaliot region in northern Israel.
In the statement made on Hezbollah’s Telegram page, it was stated that “A guided missile attack was carried out against the unit where the occupied enemy Zionist soldiers were located.” Images of wounded Israeli soldiers were also shared in the statement stating that the attack took place yesterday.
HIZBULLAH CONCERNS IN ISRAEL
In the statement made this morning by the Israeli army spokesperson, it was reported that Israeli aircraft attacked Hezbollah military targets in response to the attack.
The Lebanese Hezbollah claimed yesterday that the Israeli military base Branit was directly attacked with a guided anti-tank missile and that there were deaths and injuries among Israeli soldiers.
The news that Israel feared that Hezbollah would declare war on it from Lebanon during the ground operation in Gaza had previously appeared in the Israeli press. In the war with Hezbollah that broke out in 2006, Israel had to withdraw from the border regions with Lebanon, and the result was described as “Hezbollah’s victory.” (AGENCIES)
