Israel and Hezbollah: The borderline of war
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The drums of war are beating between Hezbollah and Israel. All of a sudden, Israel has announced military operations on its northern borders. The operation called ’Northern Shield’ has led to escalation on both sides amidst anticipation of new surprises in the coming weeks.The imminent end of the Syrian conflict has placed Israel in a difficult situation as Iranian forces and Hezbollah are now deployed in provinces close to Israeli borders. When Operation Northern Shield started on 6th of December 2018 to destroy Hezbollah’s underground tunnels, the decision to kick off such an operation was deemed hazardous by some experts. Such an operation will not stop over the issue of underground tunnels as Israel would seek to destroy the military infrastructure of Hezbollah to prevent its members from targeting Israel. All political and military indicators confirm that what is happening near the Lebanese-Israeli border is only a prelude to a fierce war. Posted by: Fred 2018-12-13 |
