Israeli military maneuvers and implicit messages to Lebanon amid regional tensions and escalating events in Gaza.
The recent Israeli military maneuvers are considered a clear message that the state of war with Lebanon has not ended, and that the possibility of escalation still exists.
These maneuvers and continuous Israeli strikes come as part of a pressure policy exerted by Israel on Lebanon, to suggest that the current situation is merely a truce and not an end to the war. This means that the Lebanese front remains open to achieve Israeli political goals, whether those related to the prime minister or pressure on the Lebanese government and Hezbollah regarding the issue of weapons.
With the developments in Gaza, it is necessary to wait and see how things will turn out regarding a ceasefire and how to solidify it. This is accompanied by expectations of escalation on other fronts, including the Lebanese front. We may see an increase in the frequency of strikes, but without reaching the level of a large-scale war.
Lebanon is experiencing a state of confusion at the level of leaders and officials in dealing with the issue of Hezbollah’s weapons, which is negatively reflected on the general situation, and gives Israel pretexts to continue its military operations. As long as the party continues to carry weapons, the situation on the border will remain tense, and the chances of war remain.
