Hezbollah position

For his part, the Lebanese writer and political analyst Asaad Bishara believes that “Hezbollah” is involved in the process of launching the missiles that was carried out recently towards the settlement of the Latta; Especially since the area from which it was launched falls under its responsibility, and the party has indirect tools for firing missiles; This is what Israel has taken as an excuse to redirect raids on the suburb, and those raids add the burdens of the stalled “ceasefire agreement” in its application from the beginning, as Israel wants a complete withdrawal of Hezbollah’s weapon; While it is used as the military arm heavily, as Israel exploits the imbalance in the balance of power to strike Lebanon’s stability, this raid today, which the occupation army on the suburb makes the ceasefire agreement on the brink of collapse.

Bechara added to “The Seventh Day”, that these raids put the Lebanese state in a critical situation; As the American administration demands the state to withdraw the Hezbollah weapon, and on the other hand, the state is afraid to enter into a conflict that may lead to a civil war.

Israel’s goals

The former dean of the Lebanese army and strategic expert, Riyad Shaya, added that the direct cause of the escalation is to launch a few ineffective missiles at all on the settlement of the Israeli interruption facing the Lebanese border, and Israel took advantage of this event to launch dozens of raids on southern Lebanon and the Bekaa and recently the southern suburb, signed by a number of dead, wounded and destroyed.

He continued: “But the indirect reasons for the escalation are many, some of which are related to the Israeli escalation in Gaza, some of them inside the Lebanese and the efforts of the iron and the serious government to disarm Hezbollah, and the other reason is regional and related to the confrontation between Iran, the United States and Israel, Iran wants to send a message that it is still capable and influential in the region despite the defeats its arms were subjected to.”

The strategic expert, who is affected by the escalation, explained, “The first affected by escalation is Lebanon, and the goal is more destruction, knowing that Israel did not adhere to the ceasefire arrangements, and the Palestinians are also affected by the escalation because it facilitates Israel to implement its plans, therefore, although the one who launched the missiles, the fingers of the accusation are directed towards those who work in the interest of Israel and Iran as the beneficiaries of what happened, The new Lebanese leadership, the Lebanese people and the Lebanese army refuse to reuse Lebanon as a field to liquidate regional accounts.
