Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group, has recently stepped up its attacks on Israel, employing drones and more sophisticated weaponry. In a recent incident, Hezbollah fired three anti-tank guided missiles at an Israeli military post, followed by an attack on a base near Tiberias using explosive drones. The group’s use of drones capable of firing missiles and other advanced weaponry has raised concerns within the Israeli military.
Hezbollah’s escalation of attacks is seen as a means of pressuring Israel to end its military operations in the Gaza Strip. The group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has stated that the fighting will continue until Israel’s actions in Gaza cease. Hezbollah’s recent actions aim to raise its demands in potential border negotiations and increase military pressure on Israel as it prepares for a battle in Rafah.
Despite efforts from foreign dignitaries to end the violence, Hezbollah has maintained its tough stance. The group’s deputy leader, Naim Kassim, has warned Israel against opening an all-out war, citing the group’s success in previous conflicts.
