“This was not a massive ‘destroy Beirut, obliterate Lebanon’s infrastructure’ attack,” said Robert Satloff, executive director of The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “This attack was targeted and fearsome in its tactical intelligence, but not overwhelming. Hezbollah can choose not to escalate.”
Israel blamed Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group and political party, for the strike on a football field in the Druze town. Hezbollah denied it was responsible. They’ve been exchanging fire almost daily since Israel’s war against Hamas erupted in October, with Hezbollah saying it’s acting in solidarity with the group and Palestinians in Gaza.
Hezbollah is, like Hamas, designated a terrorist organization by the US. It is considered the main part of Iran’s ‘Axis of Resistance,’ a group of anti-US and anti-Israel militias across the Middle East.
