Simultaneous, mass attacks target Hezbollah across Lebanon | Inside Story

Israel and Lebanon-based group Hezbollah, have been engaged in cross-border conflict since Israel's war on Gaza began, nearly a year ago.
Concerns of a wider conflict are now growing after Tuesday's coordinated serial attacks targeted Hezbollah members in Lebanon.
Hezbollah has blamed Israel and is promising retaliation.
Israel is yet to comment.
But its army is deploying additional forces to its northern border with Lebanon.
So, is there a risk of a wider conflict?

Actually calling Hezbollah’s attack on Israel, that began on October 8, a response to the war in Gaza is a lie. On October 8 Hezbollah declared itself a combatant before Israel had yet to respond to the Hamas atrocity. Very sad for the Lebanese hostages of Hezbollah as they come to the realization that Iran will gladly fight to the last Arab.
