The conflict, with the aim of pressuring the Lebanese resistance and implicating the United States and international powers in an all-out regional war.
Afrasianet - In a scene that mixes pain and tragedy, the situation in Lebanon has exploded in an unprecedented way, turning from a support front to an arena of direct confrontation. Lebanon is no longer just a supporter of the Palestinian resistance, but is at the heart of the confrontation; it carries its wounds and struggles on its front.
The recent cyber attacks targeting the cadres and leaders of Hezbollah and its popular incubator in the southern suburbs and southern Lebanon reflect the scale of the escalation led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as he seeks to expand the war at the expense of the lives of Lebanese civilians.
The blood that was shed was not limited to the members of the Lebanese resistance, but extended to immerse children and women, in scenes that summarize the tragedy. Explosive
communication devices tore bodies apart, amputated hands, extinguished eyes, and sometimes hit the head or body, revealing the scale of deliberate violence that leaves no hope for safety. It is a war of extermination that does not distinguish between a child and an elderly, or between a combatant and a civilian, and transcends all laws and customs, to make Lebanon the scene of tragic chapters that ignore the most basic principles of humanity.
Lebanon is a frontline
Lebanon has always been a key supporter of the Palestinian resistance, especially during the conflicts with the Zionist entity. With rising regional tensions and increased military operations, Lebanon is now the focus of direct confrontation. The attacks targeting Hezbollah operatives and cadres and its ecosystem were not conventional, but rather part of an advanced cyber warfare. Their communication devices were targeted to cause large-scale explosions, causing many martyrs and hundreds of wounded.
This deliberate targeting highlights a dangerous shift in Israel's strategy toward Lebanon, as it no longer relies solely on bombing or direct military confrontations, but uses technological tools of warfare to strike at Hezbollah's centers of power, deliberately directing damage to civilians to expand the circle of fear and terror. What is happening is a war crime aimed at destroying Lebanon's resilience and turning it into a restless battlefield.
Expanding the circle of war
What is happening in Lebanon today is part of a larger Israeli plan led by Netanyahu to widen the conflict, with the aim of pressuring the Lebanese resistance and involving the United States and
international powers in an all-out regional war. This ongoing military escalation comes at a time of high tension in the region.
Attacks on Lebanon go beyond conventional military objectives to target innocent people and critical infrastructure. The mass displacement and destruction of homes, schools and hospitals have led many international organizations to describe these attacks as amounting to "genocide", as the damage was not limited to the military, but also to civilians in an unprecedented manner.
The expansion of the war in Lebanon could implicate major international powers, particularly the United States and Russia, which the United States provides significant support to Israel and considers it a strategic ally in the region. In return, Russia may continue to support its traditional allies in Syria and Lebanon through Hezbollah. If the conflict escalates, we may find ourselves facing an indirect confrontation between the great powers of the region, with each side providing support to the various parties to the conflict.
Risks of all-out regional war
The escalation of Israeli attacks on Lebanon may directly affect Syria and Iran, as Iran, which leads the axis of resistance, may see this escalation as a direct target, which may open the door to new fronts of the conflict. Escalating tensions could also prompt Arab states that have recently begun to normalize relations with Israel to reconsider their positions.
If the Israeli escalation towards Lebanon continues, the situation could develop into a broad regional conflict, especially if Syria or Iran are directly lured. This scenario could include Iraq and
Yemen. Increased pressure on Hezbollah could prompt these parties to act, opening the door to an all-out regional war that could be devastating for the entire region.
The impact of conflict on global energy markets
Any further escalation in Lebanon and the region could affect shipping routes in the Mediterranean, especially if major ports or shipping areas are targeted. This could lead to disruptions in global energy markets, directly affecting major economies, such as Europe and the United States. Rising oil and natural gas prices will be one of the most prominent potential repercussions, further complicating the global economic landscape.
Lebanon's transformation into a direct confrontation front with Israel not only carries domestic repercussions, but its regional and international repercussions could be devastating. The open conflict in Lebanon may lead to the expansion of the war, which may lead to a comprehensive regional conflict that affects international balances.
Ali Ammar and the challenge of pain with pride
Hours after the disaster, MP Ali Ammar stood up to embody a scene of solidity and steadfastness. Among the crowds of mourners, he spoke steadfastly and reassuringly, thanking God that his son had the honor of martyrdom for the liberation of Jerusalem. Despite the bitterness of the loss, his speech brought great pride in joining the families of the martyrs, and pride that his son made an offering on the road to freedom.
The scene of Ali Ammar bears witness to the strength of the Lebanese people, a people who face death, not with fear, but with hope. What kind of human beings do they find in death the
meaning of freedom? They are the sons of Lebanon, who carry in their hearts a cause that does not know surrender and a dignity that does not bow before any force.
Lebanon today, despite all the wounds, remains a symbol of sacrifice and steadfastness in the face of an enemy that seeks to obliterate its identity, but it remains proud of its brave sons who write with their blood new chapters of dignity and struggle.
