The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon has once again brought into focus the precarious state of the Lebanese army. With a country facing political instability, economic collapse, and a weakening military, Lebanon finds itself ill-equipped to challenge Hezbollah’s dominance.
The Lebanese army recently attempted to respond to Israel’s incursion into its territory, but analysts argue that it lacks the capability to effectively keep the Israeli army at bay. As Israel continues its airstrikes in Beirut, targeting Hezbollah strongholds, the Lebanese population is left to endure the devastating consequences of the ongoing conflict.
Lebanon’s information minister, while on a diplomatic mission in France, expressed hope that last-minute efforts could prevent further destruction and suffering in the country. However, with no end in sight to the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, the people of Lebanon remain caught in the crossfire of a complex and dangerous situation.
With no clear resolution in sight and an army struggling to assert its authority, the future of Lebanon hangs in the balance as it navigates through a tumultuous period of crisis and conflict.
