CONFLICTO
Los ataques con dispositivos explosivos elevan los temores de un conflicto más amplio entre Israel y Líbano
September 19, 2024 - Israel bombardeo el sur de Líbano al otro día de las explosiones de radios walkie-talkie de Hezbolá sucedidas un día después de las explosiones de sus dispositivos buscapersonas, poniendo a los enemigos en pie de guerra.
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.
