Israel-Hezbollah: Rocket Strike Puts Foes on Brink of All-Out War
- The recent rocket strike in the Golan Heights, killing 12 children and teenagers, has escalated tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with fears of an all-out war growing. - Cross-border fire has intensified since October, with both sides suffering significant casualties, and Israel responding with air strikes and missiles into southern Lebanon. - The Israeli government is under pressure to retaliate strongly, with Prime Minister Netanyahu promising a heavy price for Hezbollah, while the Lebanese militant group denies responsibility for the deadly rocket. - Hezbollah's significant arsenal and its backing by Iran pose a substantial threat, complicating Israel's potential military response, especially with its resources stretched in Gaza. - Domestic political pressures on Netanyahu, coupled with international calls for restraint, create a volatile situation as the region braces for possible further escalation.
