Lebanon Under Fire: The Unfolding Crisis and Rising Casualties
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Israel has launched a series of severe attacks in Lebanon, resulting in an unimaginable death toll. Today alone, 274 people lost their lives due to Israel’s offensive against Hezbollah. Israel has also stated that it will continue its military actions until its objectives are achieved. This situation mirrors the ongoing conflict in Gaza, which has already claimed over 40,000 lives.

The Role of Hezbollah

The current situation in Lebanon is precarious, with Hezbollah unlikely to remain passive while its territory is under attack. Hezbollah’s deputy chief, Naim Qassem, emphasized that Israel’s aim is to eliminate the group, but it will ultimately fail. Hezbollah has also launched a series of attacks against Israel but most were intercepted before reaching the target.

On the other hand, Lebanon may not be able to withstand Israel’s attacks considering the country itself is currently going through a financial meltdown. A war in Lebanon will lead to mass destruction of infrastructures that could complicate things for the country.

But unfortunately, the conflict at hand is not between Israel and Lebanon; rather it involves Hezbollah, which has substantial backing from Iran. Iran has warned that any attack on Hezbollah will be seen as an attack on itself and would ensue a retaliation from Iran. Should Iran become involved in the war, the United States, a longstanding ally of Israel, would likely face pressure to act, risking a wider war in the Middle East.

Human Impact of the war

In all these, a major problem for consideration would be the war impact in Lebanon, Netanyahu in his address today accused Hezbollah of using civilians as human shields, an untold truth for most Militant groups. It has also directed most of the southern Lebanon residents to evacuate the area. In most wars for dominance, civilians are usually the victims of the war. The situation in Lebanon poses a risk of a civilian crisis if not managed well. Israel has also set a precedent in its attack against Hamas that it does not mind the human cost of achieving its aim, so long as they are not Israelis.

Technological Warfare

In this conflict, Israel has shown a technological edge. But, Unlike Hamas, Hezbollah also possesses advanced weaponry capable of inflicting serious damage on Israel. In this battle, Israel is facing a stronger enemy, both Israel and Hezbollah are well-equipped with strong allies to provide fiercer military support.

This dynamics raises concerns about the potential for a swift resolution, if the war escalates. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has shown determination to push forward, possibly relying heavily on U.S. military support, despite mounting criticisms of the U.S. for its involvement in previous conflicts.

The Dilemma: Advance or Retreat?

The critical question is whether either side can afford to retreat at this juncture. Israel initially aimed for a psychological impact that might force Hezbollah back from the border, but this outcome seems increasingly unlikely. Hezbollah is likely to escalate its operations to restore its reputation and dignity. At this point, Israel will be on edge as Hezbollah will be ready to exploit any loopholes that the country has to achieve its aim.

Conclusion

As the conflict intensifies, the dynamics of war have become complex and fraught with danger. The current trajectory suggests a battle of no return, one that both sides feel compelled to fight to the end.
