Hezbollah Resumes Hostilities Amid Israeli Offensive

Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have escalated significantly, with former IRGC commander Mohsen Rezaei warning Israel of 'tough days' ahead as Hezbollah restores its combat capabilities in response to Israeli aggression in Lebanon. The ongoing conflict has resulted in over 2,300 casualties in Lebanon since October, with Hezbollah conducting retaliatory strikes, including a drone attack that killed Israeli soldiers. Meanwhile, the Israeli military has issued new evacuation orders for Palestinians in northern Gaza amid ongoing bombardments, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Reports indicate that Israel is preparing for intensified military operations in Lebanon, while Hezbollah claims to be engaging in close combat with Israeli forces. The Lebanese army, despite its limited capabilities, remains a key player in the conflict, although it has mostly taken a passive role during these hostilities. As the situation worsens, Iran's parliament speaker has reiterated support for Hezbollah and Palestinians, underscoring the geopolitical stakes involved.
