ARTICLE SUMMARY (2024-09-23)
The situation on the ground indicates that the confrontation between the two parties has become open to all scenarios.
While Israel is setting the equation of "Hezbollah withdrawing beyond the Litani River to return the displaced people of the north to their homes safely," Hezbollah is sticking to the equation of "the residents of northern Israel not returning before the cessation of military operations in Gaza."
The intensive raids on southern Lebanon raise questions about whether they are paving the way for Israel to adopt a "scorched earth" policy as part of possible preparations to launch a ground invasion of Lebanese border towns.
Jaber adds that "Hezbollah is so far avoiding being the party that initiates that war," stressing that the current situation in Lebanon is on the brink of the abyss."
Severe damage has also affected homes, cars, and shops in several towns in southern Lebanon.

What about Israel? Iraqi militias often use suicide drones in their attacks against Israel.
While Stern considers the attacks to be "a source of annoyance for Israel," he rules out that they will result in "changing the larger equation," as he put it to Alhurra.
Iraqi researcher Al-Hamid refers to talk that spread a few days ago about a visit by the commander of the "Quds Force" in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Ismail Qaani, to Baghdad, and his meeting with the leaders of the Iraqi factions.
According to some reports, as Al-Hamid says, "Qaani urged the Iraqi factions to support the Lebanese Hezbollah in the event of an Israeli escalation."
The researcher believes that "most of the Iraqi factions are linked by a legitimate allegiance to the Iranian leader Khamenei, and therefore they are obligated to implement the instructions."

Later, Hezbollah announced that it had bombed the Amos base and an explosives factory in the Zichron area, located 60 kilometers from the Lebanese border, with "Fadi 1" and "Fadi 2" missiles.
It is worth noting that the "Fadi" missiles are Syrian-made missiles, and were considered part of Hezbollah’s military arsenal. They are equivalent in power to the Iranian Khaybar missiles, and entered service in the 2006 war and were used for the first time in this confrontation.
For its part, the Israeli occupation army stated that it had monitored the launch of 20 missiles from southern Lebanon, where it was able to intercept some of them while others fell in open areas.
In response to the escalation, Hezbollah launched waves of missile attacks targeting multiple areas, from the Golan to Haifa, all the way to Marj Bin Amer.
In light of these rapid developments, "Israeli" estimates warned of the possibility of the situation turning into a comprehensive war if Beirut or Tel Aviv were targeted.
