The likelihood of a regional conflict in the Middle East is a topic of concern as Israel has escalated its attacks in Lebanon, leading Hezbollah to promise retaliation. The Israeli military has been engaging in daily fire exchanges with Hezbollah since the start of the war on Gaza in early October. Hezbollah claims to be acting in solidarity with its ally, Hamas, and vows to continue its attacks as long as Israel continues its bombardment of the Palestinian strip. This week, Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon resulted in the deaths of 10 civilians, including children. In response, Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate. Both sides assert that they are not seeking an all-out war, but the frequency of attacks is extending beyond the border area. Experts, such as military and political analyst Elijah Magnier, award-winning journalist Hala Jaber, and Professor Gilbert Achcar, express concern over the situation and its potential for further escalation.
