An update on the warfront as it has been reported that Hezbollah has invaded Israel from the north in Lebanon. This move just created a multi-war front for Israel.
The attack by armed drones belonging to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah on Northern Israel has led to a concerning escalation of tensions in the region. This incident marks a significant shift in the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel, and is yet another example of Iran’s attempt to assert its influence over Middle Eastern politics through proxy groups such as Hezbollah.

Hezbollah emerged with Iranian backing during the Israeli occupation of Lebanon in the early 1980’s, and has since become both a political force within Lebanon, holding seats in Parliament, as well as a military wing that has taken part in multiple conflicts with Israel throughout history. The organization receives significant financial, political, and military support from Iran which views them as an important ally against Israeli interests in the region.
In response to this latest provocation from Hezbollah, U.S government has called for all American citizens currently located in Lebanon to remain cautious but it appears that evacuation plans are not being implemented at this time according to recent statements released by the State Department.

The reports coming out of northern regions of Israel have indicated that numerous alerts have been triggered due to these drone incursions though its unclear exactly how many infiltrators were involved or what type of damage was inflicted upon Israeli forces by these drones.
This incident marks an increase in hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel which could potentially lead into a multi-front war scenario if further provocations occur.
Its clear that Iran is attempting to extend their influence beyond their own borders via militant organizations like Hamas and now it appears they have found new allies through their support for Hezbollah who may be willing join them in waging war against western powers such as America who are allied with Israel.
Reminders if northern front opens.
Hezbollah is a terrorist organization controlled by Iran.
Hezbollah like Hamas uses human shields.
Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad sit together in Beirut in a joint cell coordinated by Iran.
Hezbollah threat much greater. Massive arsenal…

This situation poses an increasing threat not only to Israeli interests but also those held by United States across Middle East region given our long standing diplomatic relationship with Jewish state.
It would be wise for American leaders take heed this episode when considering future foreign policy decisions involving any potential dealings with rogue nations such Iran who have shown no inclination towards peace negotiations.
