In a significant escalation, Israel has launched ground incursions into southern Lebanon to target Hezbollah infrastructure, raising fears of a renewed conflict in the region. The Israeli military reported that these "targeted operations" are part of ongoing efforts to weaken the Iran-backed Hezbollah, which has been under pressure to disarm. The situation has become alarmingly tense as Israel intensified its near-daily airstrikes against perceived Hezbollah targets after a cease-fire was established in November last year following the devastating conflict. With Hezbollah yet to respond to these aggressions, the fragile cease-fire seems increasingly precarious amid international pressure on the group to relinquish its arms— a key condition for lasting peace. The conflict's roots trace back to last year’s war, ignited by Hezbollah's attacks in solidarity with Hamas during the violence that erupted in the Gaza Strip.
