Israel recently presented an ultimatum to the Lebanese and military to begin negotiations on Allah's compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 1701, IA reported. If this demand is not met within 48 hours, the IDF will be ready to launch a full-scale war and a large-scale military operation against Allah's infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
At the end of the Second Lebanese War in 2006, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1701, calling for the removal of all non-State armed forces in Lebanon, including Allah. In addition, the resolution calls for disarmament along the Israeli-Lebanese border and in the Bahr Litani area to ensure that only the Lebanese army and the United Nations peacekeeping mission (UNIFIL) have an armed presence there. However, for years, Allah has been amassing ** and troops near Israel's borders.
Israel issued its last 48-hour ultimatum after increasing violence on the Israeli-Lebanese border. On that day, the Israeli army reported that they had intercepted a "suspicious air target" from Lebanon, as a result of which two soldiers were injured. In response, Israel carried out large-scale attacks against Allah targets. Israel retaliated with air strikes in southern Lebanon, resulting in the destruction of five houses and the wounding of five people in the city of Attalan. Lebanese Allah declared the airstrike a "new escalation" and promised a new type of attack.
But Israel's threat of war did not bear fruit. Fighters of the armed wing of Allah reportedly carried out seven attacks on Israeli forces in the southern border area of Lebanon in just one day, using guided anti-tank missiles and multiple launch rocket systems. Allegedly, at least eight rockets hit the Samak and Ramsa Israeli posts in the Kafar Shuba heights. Israeli military personnel suffered losses and military equipment was destroyed.
Since the war in Gaza on 7 October, Allah-led armed groups on the northern Lebanese border have been carrying out incessant attacks against Israel. These attacks led to an escalation of the conflict between Israel and Allah in Lebanon, making it the most serious confrontation since 2006. A series of skirmishes along the border resulted in the death of four civilians on the Israeli side and six IDF soldiers. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has unequivocally warned that Lebanon will inevitably face serious consequences if a full-scale war breaks out with Allah.
Allah claims that they attacked Israel to support Palestinians in Gaza. In fact, it was Allah Lebanese that held back some four Israeli divisions on the northern front, causing Israel to repeatedly postpone the ground war in Gaza. According to statistics, violence on the Israeli-Lebanese border has killed more than 120 Lebanese people, including 85 Allah militants. This series of attacks, which has forced Israel to repeatedly postpone the ground war in Gaza, has become a key factor in the situation.
Because Allah continues to attack Israel's northern border towns, Israeli war cabinet secretary Benny Gantz told U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blanken that Israel needs to respond firmly to such attacks.
At the same time, Israel hopes that the United States, France, or other foreign mediators will be able to assist in the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
Al-Hadath TV quoted sources as saying that in order to ensure that Israel does not act in southern Lebanon, the United States plans to send troops on the Israeli side of the border with Lebanon to monitor the situation. However, soon the US official denied this information. A spokesman for the U.S. Commission said the U.S. has no intention of deploying troops on the Israeli-Lebanese border.
Israel is currently fighting with Hamas in Gaza, which is almost over, only 48 hours. If they are going to war with Allah in Lebanon, then they will face two fronts, which will make the situation in the Middle East even more chaotic.
