The messages started pouring in on Monday night. – The next stage in the war against Hezbollah will start soon, Israel’s defense minister said in a meeting with local politicians in northern Israel.

Two weeks ago, thousands of pagers and other communications equipment belonging to Hezbollah members suddenly exploded. Thousands of people were seriously injured. Then, one week ago, Israel began an intensive bombing campaign against what it claims are Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Over the weekend, Hezbollah confirmed that its notorious leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli bomb attack on Beirut. The tension between Israel and the Hezbollah movement, which is based in Lebanon, has increased since the Hamas attack on Israel and the start of the Gaza war on 7 October last year. Hezbollah is allied with Hamas and has carried out a number of rocket attacks against northern Israel in the past year. Israel, for its part, has carried out a number of attacks against targets in Lebanon. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced from their homes near the border between the two countries. In July, Hezbollah leader Fuad Shukr was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut. It was after a rocket killed 12 children in the Golan Heights, which is controlled by Israel.
