Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah have been engaging in cross-border fighting along the Lebanese border, intensifying tensions following the eruption of conflict in Gaza. The ongoing violence traces back to last year's attack by Hamas on Israeli towns, which triggered the current war. As the situation escalates, Israel has hinted at the possibility of a ground invasion into Lebanon to counter Hezbollah’s involvement. Hezbollah, which is based in Lebanon, is closely aligned with Iran and has long posed a strategic threat to Israel, adding another dimension of complexity to the broader Middle Eastern conflict.
