How far will the Lebanon-Israeli war go?
Last Updated on September 27, 2024 7:27 am
After Gaza, Israel opened its doors in Lebanon. This country, which is known as the ‘poison boil of the Middle East’, is setting a precedent for killing one after another in barbaric and brutal attacks. Hundreds of people are losing their lives in Beirut in a few days.
The UN Secretary General has repeatedly said that Lebanon should not become another ‘Gaza’. But his words came true. Israel has killed more than 41,000 people in Gaza so far. The country is killing innocent people in the same way in Lebanon.
How many people will die?
On September 17th and 18th, Israel killed people in Lebanon “skillfully” by exploding walkie-talkies and pagers. After that, the hyena team went directly to the field without strategy. Israel started attacking the country in full force from the last 20 October. Bombs, rockets and missiles have killed 620 people in less than a week.
Meanwhile, the United States, Australia, Canada, the European Union, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar have called on Israel for a temporary ceasefire. However, in a statement from Netanyahu, the attack will not stop, it will continue.
Meanwhile, Israel is planning a ground operation in the country. An Israeli official broadcaster said, the Israeli military is preparing for a possible ground operation in Lebanon. According to the report of the Times of Israel, the army is conducting exercises to conduct ground operations in Lebanon.
In other words, the number of deaths in Lebanon will increase even more. And there is no sign of stopping this war easily or in a few days.
What can Hezbollah do?
Hundreds of people have been reported dead in Lebanon due to Israel’s attack, but no Israeli deaths have been reported in Hizbullah’s attack so far. Also, there are reports of Hezbollah attacks in Israel, but there are no reports of large-scale attacks.
According to a report by Middle East Eye, Hezbollah currently has many modern weapons to deal with Israel.
According to the report, Hezbollah has about 130,000 rockets and missiles and 20,000 active and 20,000 reserve troops. There are also Iranian Fateh-110 and Scud missiles and T-55, T-72 tanks and other weapons.
But time will tell how effective these weapons will be against Israel.
What does the evacuation of citizens indicate?
Many countries, including Australia, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Portugal, are evacuating their citizens from Lebanon. Apart from this, China has banned its citizens from going to the country.
Meanwhile, many countries including Türkiye, Italy, Belgium, Russia, India, Malaysia have warned their citizens about traveling to Lebanon.
What does this warning indicate? Basically, the world has assumed that Israel’s attack on Lebanon will be prolonged.
What is the impact of war?
Israel’s merciless attacks have also affected the lives of Lebanese people. Many children’s schools were demolished by Israeli forces. People’s homes were destroyed. Many people are forced to leave their father’s house and go elsewhere.
As a result of Israel’s attack on the country, the number of injured so far is several thousand. According to Al-Jazeera, about 500,000 people have been displaced by Israel’s massive bombardment across Lebanon. But in the last one year, the number of displaced people in the country was only 100,000.
Who is next to Lebanon?
Israel’s brutality in Gaza has been going on since October 7 last year. But so far, apart from Lebanon’s Hezbollah, no one has sided directly with Hamas. Basically no country has been able to do much for Hamas except to cover the mouth, vote for the establishment of a Palestinian state in the General Assembly, and file a case against Israel at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The ICC has issued an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant for killing 41,000 people in Gaza. However, Israel has not been harmed so far. In the case of Lebanon, there may not be much more.
