The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) warned on Tuesday of a “concerning shift” in the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel in southern Lebanon as Israel escalated its operations against its northern neighbor.

Iran Press/ West Asia: Israel expanded the scope of its attack against Lebanon on Monday and Tuesday, targeting the region of al-Hanieh in the Tyre province and al-Baysarieh in the Zahrani province for the first time since the conflict erupted between it and Hezbollah in October.

“This conflict has already claimed too many lives and caused significant damage to houses and public infrastructure. It has jeopardized the livelihoods and changed the lives of tens of thousands of civilians on both sides of the Blue Line. Yet we now see an expansion and intensification of strikes,” UNIFIL head of mission and force commander Lt. Gen. Aroldo Lazaro said in a statement.

“In recent days, we have continued our active engagement with the parties to decrease tensions and prevent dangerous misunderstandings, but recent events have the potential to put at risk a political solution to this conflict,” he added.

The Lebanese borderline witnessed counter-attacks between Hezbollah and the Israeli regime since the beginning of the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood in October.

Hezbollah insists that it won't stop its attacks against the Israeli regime, till the end of the war in Gaza.
