Beirut: Amidst the war between Israel and Hamas, the world is feeling the heat of another war. Now Israel seems to be facing Lebanon and Hezbollah. It is not in Israel’s DNA to let go of its enemy easily. This is the reason why Benjamin Netanyahu has given a befitting reply to Hezbollah without worrying about the war. Yes, Israel has avenged the Golan Heights attack. Israel avenged the death of 12 children in Golan Heights by airstrikes on Beirut. Israel unexpectedly carried out an airstrike on Beirut, Lebanon on Tuesday. Hezbollah’s senior commander Faud Shukr is reported to have been killed in this attack. However, neither Lebanon nor Hezbollah has confirmed this claim. According to Lebanon, 3 people have died in this Israeli attack. With this attack, Israel’s tension with Hezbollah in Lebanon has increased.
The world had already got a hint that Israel will not spare Hezbollah. After the rocket attack on Golan Heights, Benjamin Netanyahu himself had said that Hezbollah will have to pay a heavy price for this. Benjamin Netanyahu did what he said. On Tuesday, Israel carried out several airstrikes on Lebanon’s capital Beirut and broke the back of Hezbollah. Many people are reported dead in this attack. However, the death of Hezbollah’s senior commander Faud Shukr has not been confirmed yet. The attack on Beirut means that there will now be an open war between Israel and Lebanon. Lebanon had already said that if Beirut is attacked, it will not back down from the war.
Revenge for the Golan Heights complete?
Benjamin Netanyahu’s army targeted Hezbollah’s senior commander Faud Shukr in Beirut. This commander is accused of attacking Israel-controlled Golan Heights. 12 children were killed in Golan Heights in a rocket attack from Lebanon. Israel blamed Hezbollah for this rocket attack. However, Hezbollah denied this. At that time, Benjamin Netanyahu had said that he would not spare Hezbollah and it would have to pay a heavy price for the Golan Heights attack. After this, everyone felt that Israel would definitely take revenge for this. However, even Hezbollah itself had no clue when and how.
Israel wreaked havoc on Beirut, took revenge for the death of 12 children, Hezbollah commander was the target
Israel showed ‘dog day’
When Hezbollah attacked Golan Heights, Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said, ‘Every dog has its day.’ Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Galant said that Hezbollah has crossed the line and Israel will now have to respond to it. Israel’s specialty is that it does what it says. Israel has carried out this attack when Lebanon had clearly said that if Beirut is attacked, it will not back down. It will fight a direct war with Israel. Now that Israel has attacked Beirut, it remains to be seen what Lebanon’s next step will be.
Will there be an open war now?
Meanwhile, Lebanon has called this Israeli attack a criminal act. Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati has called Israel’s attack on Beirut a criminal act. He condemned the attack and said that it is a complete violation of international law. At the same time, Member of Parliament and Hezbollah leader Ali Ammar Ali Ammar said that the enemy (Israel) knows that Hezbollah will not remain silent on such attacks. As our people have become accustomed to, this blood will not go in vain. On the other hand, the spokesperson of the Israeli Defense Force has clearly said that Israel is fully prepared for war. Now if Hezbollah also retaliates, then Israel will be seen fighting a war on another front.
