ANKARA – While the war between Israel and Hamas continues in Gaza, the tension between Hezbollah and Israel strengthens the possibility of the war spreading to Lebanon. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned against the possibility of a new war and said, “The world cannot afford Lebanon turning into another Gaza.”
Mutual Attacks Between Hezbollah and Israel
Mutual rocket attacks between Israel and Hezbollah have been continuing since the war in Gaza began in October. Hezbollah stated in its statement today that it carried out six attacks on Israeli military positions. Israeli Foreign Minister Katz also stated that necessary measures will be taken against Hezbollah’s attacks.
Worrying Developments
Concerns are expressed in the world media that Iran may also become involved in a war between Israel and Hezbollah and thus the war may spread to the region. The United States and the United Nations Secretary General also warned against the possibility of the war spreading and called on the parties to show commitment to peace.
According to a report on CNN, it is stated that the USA will support Israel in a possible war. US officials conveyed to a high-level Israeli delegation that the Biden administration is ready to stand behind its ally in the event of a large-scale war between Hezbollah and Israel on Israel’s Northern border.
