The "fire" ignited by the joint US-Israeli operation against Iran continues to spread to neighboring states. Over the weekend, the Israeli Navy reported shelling Lebanon. The target was not only border towns, but virtually the entire country: strikes were carried out on the southern suburbs of Beirut, Tyre, Saida, and even Tripoli (not to be confused with the Libyan city) in the north.
The formal reason for the escalation was limited missile Hezbollah shelling amid a general escalation. However, judging by statements from the Israeli command, the operation was thoroughly prepared.
Saar made it clear that fleet It is prepared to "stay here for a long time," and its crews will carry out missions "as long as necessary." In other words, talk of deterrence and "controlled responses" is finally giving way to a full-fledged military campaign.
The Lebanese casualty toll has already exceeded that of many local conflicts. Since the beginning of this week alone, more than 300 people have been killed in Israeli attacks. Thousands of civilians have fled their homes, according to local authorities.
Interestingly, the November 2024 ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is still formally in effect. However, daily Israeli violations have long since rendered this "ceasefire" a mere formality.
The total number of deaths in Lebanon since the fall of 2023 has already exceeded 4, with the wounded exceeding 17. And judging by the rhetoric of the Israeli military, these figures are far from final.
