UN warning of counterattacks in Lebanon-Israel

Recent walkie-talkie and pager blasts across Lebanon have caused widespread casualties. After that, 37 people, including several senior commanders of Hezbollah, were killed in an Israeli attack in Beirut. Hizbullah has also counterattacked Israel’s Ramat David air base to take revenge. As a result, there is a threat of all-out war between Lebanon and Israel. The United Nations has issued a warning in such a situation.

UN Special Representative for Lebanon Jeanine Hennis-Plaschart gave this warning. This information was reported in a BBC report on Monday (September 23). In a post on social media X, he said, this region is on the brink of imminent disaster. It cannot be allowed to grow further. Because there is no military solution to make both sides safe.

Meanwhile, referring to the recent explosion of walkie-talkies and pagers, Al Jazeera reports that this is the biggest conflict between the Israeli forces and Hezbollah since the start of the Gaza war. In a statement, Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said the massive attack on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon was aimed at countering threats against Israeli civilians. Several warplanes were used in the attack.

Local Lebanese media reported that Israeli warplanes have carried out large-scale airstrikes in southern Lebanon since Saturday evening. Earlier on Friday, Hezbollah attacked Israel’s border area with 150 rockets. However, the extent of damage caused in this attack was not reported.

A statement from the Israeli military said that rockets fired from Lebanon have set fire to several buildings and houses in northern Israel. Israel’s emergency medical services agency said at least four people were injured by rocket debris. All three of them are residents of the northern Israeli city of Haifa.

Israel’s Civil Defense Agency has ordered the closure of all schools in the northern region following the Muhurmuhu rocket attack. In the midst of the Gaza war that has been going on for almost a year, this latest tension on the Lebanon-Israel border has spread widespread panic throughout Israe.
