How an all-out Israel war could rope in the US and other countries
Middle East,Lebanon,Israel,Hezbollah
Terrorist rockets rain on Israeli towns and villages.
Tens of thousands are displaced, dozens killed, and vast swaths of territory are set ablaze.
Sounds like the Gaza Envelope, the belt of Israeli communities bordering Gaza in the south β but it describes the reality in Israelβs north.
Starting with Hamasβ invasion of Oct. 7, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon launched an utterly unprovoked assault on the Galilee.
Now, eight months later, entire cities stand abandoned and countless acres of farmland uncultivated or burnt.
Rockets and attack drones target any Israeli β civilian or soldier β exposed.
Each day, the range of Hezbollah fire advances southward, today targeting the major cities of Safad and Tiberias, and tomorrow, most likely, Haifa.
If left unchecked, Hezbollah soon could render half the country uninhabitable.
