A mini war between Israel and Hezbollah.. What is the fate of southern Lebanon?.
Israel requires the removal of Hezbollah from south of the Litani to stop its strikes on Lebanon. Meanwhile, Hezbollah says, through its Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, that the floor is up to the field. Israel’s breaking of the rules of engagement with Hezbollah coincides with the intensification of its aggression against Gaza and Neget meeting in Paris. An open war in Lebanon would put pressure on the Israeli army and the settlers in the north, writes Tawfiq Shoman.
