Israel's attention moves from dealing with Hamas in Gaza to addressing Hezbollah in Lebanon.


Israel is signaling a shift in its military focus from Gaza to Lebanon following a series of attacks targeting Hezbollah members using booby-trapped wireless devices. The country's defense minister, Yoav Gallant, stated that resources were being allocated to the northern arena where Hezbollah operates. Israel's new war goal is to ensure the safe return of displaced residents in northern Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the commitment to bring the residents back securely. Hezbollah has been conducting attacks on northern Israel in solidarity with Hamas, with both groups supported by Iran and aiming to eliminate Israel. The ongoing conflict has raised concerns about a wider regional conflict drawing in Iran. Efforts to reach a ceasefire have stalled, leading to escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. Israeli officials are preparing for a potentially challenging fight against Hezbollah, with the military reviewing contingency plans for a conflict on the northern border. General Halevi stressed the commitment to bringing security to the residents and that Hezbollah will face a high price. Leaders acknowledge the formidable nature of Hezbollah as an opponent compared to Hamas in Gaza and are gearing up for a tough battle ahead. (Source: Adapted from original article)
