The war between Israel and the United States against Iran began on the 28th of last February, and like any war in the region, it is expanding and expanding to include multiple fronts. Fronts that enter the war by decision, which are fronts made up of armed arms, and other fronts that are forced to bear the cost of the war, which are fronts of countries exhausted by conflicts and crises over many decades. And Lebanon A good example.
With the beginning of the war, and the sudden American-Israeli attack on Iran, Tehran responded by targeting Tel Aviv and American bases in the region, and began to intervene on other fronts in the conflict to support Iran, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the armed factions loyal to Iran in Iraq, as Iranian arms supporting Tehran in the war. As usual, wounded Lebanon pays the blame as a victim of the war in which Hezbollah was involved.
Attacks between Israel and Hezbollah began to escalate, and Tel Aviv moved to respond to Hezbollah’s fire, leaving a large part of the weight of the attack on Tehran to Trump’s soldiers, but Israel, in its response, as usual, did not only target Hezbollah, but rather turned the skies over all of Lebanon… Beirut and its southern suburbs into a theater of operations.
The war between Israel and Hezbollah
The question here is: Why is the war not limited to Israel and Hezbollah? Why expand to include all of Lebanon? Tel Aviv is not only targeting the party, its headquarters, and its weapons, but it is targeting all of Lebanon, forcing residents to forcibly relocate due to military operations, pushing towards detonating the situation in Lebanon. Israel is putting, as the Egyptian proverb says, “the knot in the saw,” and is pushing the Lebanese government to confront Hezbollah and wants to force it to disarm the party and strip it of its strength. This is what Israel worked on for many months after the Gaza party, but that has not succeeded so far.
Without a doubt, the party is strong and is fighting for its survival, and the Lebanese government does not have sufficient tools to confront the party and disarm it, and there is a large popular incubator for the party in Lebanon.
Wounded Lebanon paid the bill for many wars and entered into prolonged conflicts with Israel, through the party’s wars with Tel Aviv, beginning with the 1982 war, through the 2006 war, all the way to the 2023 Gaza war in which the party clashed, and between these dates there were other rounds of conflict, Israeli pursuits of Palestinian leaders in Lebanon, and many assassinations and crimes that have not stopped to this day.
Focusing on the 2023 Gaza War and the party’s involvement in the battle from the second day of the war, October 8, 2023, Hezbollah lost a lot, in equipment and numbers, and the most notable thing it lost was the end of the legend of the party’s strongest leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and his successor, Hashem Safi al-Din, and quite a few of the party’s military leaders, and the destruction of the party’s headquarters, weapons, and missiles. Despite this, as Israel says, the party surprised us with its strength after its involvement in The ongoing Iran war.
Aside from the party and the extent of its weakness and strength and its continued involvement in the battles, wounded Lebanon, Lebanon the state, Lebanon the people, was the biggest loser of all these battles, hundreds of victims, wounded and displaced as a result of Israel’s aggression, the victims of the September 2024 pager operation, and sites occupied by Israel in Lebanon and from which it has not emerged until today.
In this battle alone, so far, there have been more than 800 martyrs, 2,000 wounded, and 800,000 displaced people in Lebanon due to Israel’s strikes, which have reached more than 1,100 strikes since the beginning of the ongoing war with Iran, with continuous Israeli threats to invade Lebanon by land and complicate the scene in Beirut amid estimates of a long war in Lebanon even after the end of the Iran war. Therefore, Lebanon, as usual, is one of the biggest losers in the region’s ongoing wars.
