Israel's army continues massive attacks in Lebanon and Gaza Strip

The situation in the Middle East continues to come to a head, especially in Lebanon and in the Gaza Strip. Israel's army recently reinforced her offensive against proiran militias. In the past nights, Israeli armed forces have carried out air strikes on areas around Beirut and in the Gaza Strip. According to reports, the attacks focused on Hisbollah and Hamas facilities, including a former school and a mosque that were used as command centers. Despite the extreme civilian, civilians do not seem to have been spared on the offensive; According to the Arab sources, there were at least 15 deaths and numerous injuries, while the Israeli army assured that they have taken measures to protect the civilian population.

The aggressive approach of the Israeli forces is in the context of an increasing level of voltage with Iran. PM Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that a reaction to the latest rocket attacks from Iran was imminent without giving details. In a speech, he explained that no country would accept such an attack and Israel had the right to defend himself. The military plans are significant, which only increases the concern about a possible escalation of the conflict in the region.

reactions of international actors

The international community reacted to the violent escalation. Macron plans to organize an international conference to support Lebanon, which is to take place in October. The conference is intended to aim to provide humanitarian aid and to ensure security in the South Libanon. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony has had talks with his Saudi counterpart about the unstable situation in the Middle East.

conditions against the background of increasing violence

in Lebanon itself, the Hisbollah continues its attacks on Israel, and the Israeli army continues to carry out counterattacks. There were reportedly over 20 heavy bombing in Beirut, whereby an armory was hit near the airport. Israeli military leadership emphasizes the need to put pressure on the HISBOLLAH in order to weaken their military capacities and increase security at the border. The concerns about possible retaliatory measures due to the continuing conflict are omnipresent in the region.

in Israel itself took part in demonstrations for negotiations with Hamas, especially before the first anniversary of the Hamas massacre on October 7th. The participants fear that the fates of the hostages that are still under the violence of Hamas could be pushed into the background. The demonstrators criticize the government and accuse Netanyahu of undermining a possible deal with Hamas in order to avoid the political pressure of right -wing extremist coalition partners.

The entire situation remains tense, not only in military terms, but also on a diplomatic level, since the parties to the conflict and international actors are looking for a way out of the crisis. The continuing military actions and the routine of the mutual attacks could lead the region into an even lengthy conflict that has far -reaching effects on the entire geopolitical landscape in the Middle East
