After the air strike in Lebanon, Israel is now preparing for a ground battle. Israel’s military chief Harjai Halevi said that the aim of their air strikes in Lebanon is to destroy Hezbollah’s infrastructure and find a way for ground infiltration. Halevi said that the Israeli army will enter Hezbollah’s territory and destroy their military posts. Then they will know what it means to face the Israeli army. He said that due to Hezbollah’s attacks, thousands of people living in the northern areas of Israel had left their homes and moved to the southern area. Now they will be able to return to their homes. Meanwhile, the US and France on Wednesday demanded a 21-day ceasefire to stop the Israel-Lebanon war for some time.
Many European countries including Australia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar supported the demand for ceasefire. In the meeting, France said that it is necessary to stop the war in Lebanon, otherwise it can increase the war in the Middle East. This can be stopped through diplomacy. Regarding the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, President Biden said that the time has come for it. This is necessary for the people to return home safely. He sought the support of the Israeli and Lebanese governments for the ceasefire. However, so far Hezbollah, Lebanon or Israel have not responded to the ceasefire. US officials hope that if the war between Hezbollah and Israel stops, it will also affect the ongoing fighting in Gaza. Fighting has been going on in Gaza for about a year. Biden is under a lot of pressure to stop the war in the Middle East. He is now the President for only 116 days. Biden has been trying to stop the war through talks for a long time, but has been unsuccessful so far. If his attempt is successful, it will improve his image. Last week, the most horrific battle between Israel and Hezbollah broke out after 2006. On September 17, Lebanon was attacked with a pager attack. Just a day after this, there were explosions in pagers and walkie-talkies. Hezbollah and Lebanon held Israel responsible for these attacks. Israel has been carrying out missile attacks in Lebanon for the last 7 days.
According to Al Jazeera’s report, more than 700 people have died in Lebanon due to Israeli missile attacks. Apart from this, more than 5 lakh people have had to leave their homes. Israel has named the operation being carried out in Lebanon as Northern Arrows. The Israeli Defense Force carried out the biggest attack on Lebanon on September 23. The IDF carried out air strikes targeting 1600 Hezbollah targets. It was claimed that 10 thousand rockets were destroyed in these. 569 people died in this attack.
