Northern Israel situation ‘very febrile’ as Hezbollah launches deadly Lebanon strikes
Well they’re part of an uptick in the violence that’s been taking place for quite some time you know almost on a daily basis it’s been getting worse uh right from the beginning uh Hezbollah felt itself under pressure to put the Israelis themselves under pressure on their northern border so they could take
The slacker bit off Hamas in Gaza on the other hand you know hisbah has also been clear that he doesn’t want to be sucked into a war with Israel and until recently the the number of Rocket attacks going backwards and forwards was relatively low uh but now it’s definitely getting getting worse uh
Israel has attacked as far north as heral uh very close to the Syrian border right in the north of Lebanon uh and in balbec as well in the Becka Valley uh and as you pointed out now in the South to is that strike which killed seven
People from its from the other hand uh Hezbollah has been increasingly attacking uh Israel civilian settlements as well as military targets uh the the attack on kirat Shimona probably hasn’t done that much Dam damage since most of the people who lived in the the town had evacuated
Long ago uh but you know the intent is clearly there they’ve started using longer range Rockets instead of anti-tank missiles which they’ve been using up until now and that’s a signal I think that they’re prepared to escalate from the Israeli point perspective too uh there is a reluctance wants to get
Involved in a fullscale war at this stage with Hezbollah uh because of the fighting in Gaza uh but on the other hand Israel has also made it clear uh that it wants to push hisbah back beyond the Lani river which was the demarcation line agreed after the last war with
Hezbollah in 2006 uh they’re saying that they’re not prepared to let things go back to the status quo before the war in Gaza and they’re prep prepared to use Force if necessary to achieve their ends you know so that’s where things stand at the moment uh very fee uh and an
Increasing impression that things could get much worse and not least because over 70% of Israelis say they they think Force should be used against hisbah now
Israel’s deadly airstrike in southern Lebanon targeting a paramedic center linked to a Sunni Muslim group triggered a barrage of rockets Wednesday into northern Israel that was claimed by the militant group Hezbollah, killing at least one person. Reporting from Jerusalem, FRANCE 24’s Rob Parsons says the situation in northern Israel is “very febrile” with Hezbollah now using longer range rockets instead of anti-tank missiles while Israel is under increasing domestic pressure to use more military force against the Lebanese Shiite party.

Until ceasefire
Lebanon has right to defend itself
They aren't targeting civilians like Israel explicitly does.
As we all know, Lebanon has a right to defend itself.
Tumescent even.
All this destruction terrible loss of life humanity at its worst this will only end with the end of Zionism cruel beyond words 😢😢😢
What
You have a great sense of humor. I laughed out loud.
Where’s the UN peacekeepers that are to prevent this
Netanyahu is leading Israel towards the end
If you bomb another country don't they usually fight back?
Israel's been attacking lebanon for years. Israel's also been flying in lebanon's airspace for years.
Iam waiting for Jesus to return to end all of the global corruption!
