era of israel report:
The Israel Defense Forces announced on Monday morning that four soldiers, one seriously, were injured in an explosion that occurred during a nighttime operation several hundred meters inside Lebanese territory. The terrorist organization Hezbollah was responsible for the explosion at the border.
The cause of the explosion that injured soldiers on the western Lebanese border is being investigated by the military, which said in a statement that the cause of the explosion was “unknown.”
The military said the incident occurred on the Lebanese side of the border, several hundred meters from the Israeli fence, during an “operation” carried out by reconnaissance units of the Golani Brigade and units of the elite Yahalom Combat Engineers.
Yahalom (“Diamond”) forces are handling tunnels, suggesting that the IDF is attempting to discover and destroy Hezbollah tunnels, some of which are suspected of extending into Israel. include.
Israelis support military action against the Iranian-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah. Hezbollah has been shelling Israeli towns since October in a show of support for terrorist attacks by Hamas, which is also backed by Iran.
Approximately 60,000 Israeli civilians have been evacuated from communities within four kilometers of the border and have been living with relatives or in hotels for six months, absent from work and school and homeless. Only farmers are allowed into deserted areas to continue tending to their crops and animals.
Because Hezbollah has a large arsenal of rockets, ballistic missiles, mortars, and anti-tank weapons, an all-out war against Hezbollah is likely to be a much more difficult conflict than the war in Gaza. Although directly armed, trained, and financed by Iran, Iran has more freedom to operate in Lebanon than in Gaza due to easier access from Iran-controlled Syria.
The United Nations (UN) has sent soldiers to southern Lebanon, where they are to enforce 2006 UN Security Council Resolution 1707, which prohibits Hezbollah from being near the border with Israel. But UN forces basically do nothing to stop Hezbollah.
The United States is trying to dissuade Israel from going to war with Hezbollah, but given the apparent failure of diplomatic solutions, many Israelis feel they have no other choice.
In fact, the war is already underway.
