UNIFIL's response:
UNIFIL has called on Israel to halt its strikes immediately and comply with its international obligations to withdraw fully from Lebanese soil. They warned that continued military actions risk undermining efforts to stabilize the region.
Hezbollah's reaction:
Hezbollah criticized the attacks as part of Israel’s ongoing aggressive policies. A senior Hezbollah commander stated that these actions would not weaken their resistance but rather unite Lebanon further.
The Bigger picture:
Tensions have been rising since the anniversary of last year's Israeli conflict with Lebanon. The US has been criticized for supporting Israel's actions, with Hezbollah calling on Arab nations to take a stronger stand against Israel's aggression.
Looking ahead:
The risk of further escalation remains high. UNIFIL has urged all parties to adhere to Resolution 1701, but with rising military actions, the region faces an uncertain path toward peace.
