حرب شاملة تهدد الأمن في لبنان

By Jordi Bou

September 19, 2024 - قصفت القوات الإسرائيلية جنوب لبنان بعد يوم من انفجارات في أجهزة اللاسلكي التابعة للميليشيا المسماة حزب الله جاءت في أعقاب انفجارات في أجهزة بيجر مفخخة، مما دفع إلى ما يتخوف أن يصل إلى حرب شاملة.

The sophisticated attacks on armed group Hezbollah’s communications equipment, which killed 37 people and wounded around 3,000 over two days, sowed disarray in Lebanon, with panicked residents abandoning their mobile phones.

Fears of a full-scale war between both sides soared after the killing of 12 children in a rocket attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on July 27. Israel said Hezbollah carried out the attack, but the group denied involvement.

On July 30, the IDF announced that it had killed senior Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr in an air strike in Beirut's southern suburbs.

Following the attacks on communications equipment, the Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said the war was moving into a new phase, with more resources and military units now being shifted to the northern border.
