The situation in the Middle East has intensified as Israel’s top army commander has issued a warning to troops about a potential ground invasion of southern Lebanon. The commander emphasized the professionalism of the Israeli combat force and its potential impact on Hezbollah. In response, Israel has called up two reserve brigades to the northern border and has been conducting a massive bombing campaign across Lebanon, resulting in casualties and displacements.
Hezbollah, in a retaliatory move, claimed to have fired a ballistic missile targeting Mossad’s headquarters near Tel Aviv, further escalating the conflict. The foreign ministers of Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan have condemned Israel’s actions, labelling them as aggression and warning of the potential for an all-out war in the region.
