The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has escalated to a devastating level, with nearly 500 people reported killed and over 1,600 wounded due to Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah sites in Lebanon. The violence has prompted urgent evacuation warnings for residents in the south and east of the country.
According to Mesrob Kassemdjian, a teaching fellow at the Department of Politics and International Studies at SOAS, University of London, Hezbollah’s retaliation could potentially overwhelm Israel’s defense systems, including the renowned Iron Dome. In an interview with FRANCE 24’s Sharon Gaffney, Kassemdjian highlighted the serious implications of Hezbollah’s response, emphasizing the increasing threat posed to Israel’s security.
The intense airstrikes and mounting casualties in Lebanon have raised concerns about the escalating violence in the region, with the potential for further conflict and devastation. As tensions continue to rise between Israel and Hezbollah, the international community closely monitors the situation, hoping for a swift resolution to prevent further loss of life and destruction.
