Is Israel Preparing for a New Conflict in Lebanon Amid Gaza Tensions? ⚠️

Despite a US-brokered ceasefire signed 11 months ago, Lebanon is still under attack. Civilians and UN peacekeepers are falling victim to frequent Israeli strikes in the country's south. The attacks coincide with an approaching deadline for Hezbollah to disarm, with Israel claiming that the armed group still remains an existential threat to its security. Israel’s repeated violations of the truce in Lebanon has stoked fear that Gaza will suffer the same fate. But with the world’s attention focused on Gaza, is Israel preparing to launch another war on Lebanon?
