In a significant escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Hezbollah has launched a massive attack on Israeli targets, which has been celebrated by segments of the Iranian population as a response to recent Israeli assassinations. This operation coincides with the annual marches in Iran marking the 20th anniversary of the month of Safar, where participants expressed their support for the Lebanese resistance against what they termed the 'Zionist entity'.
Iranian political analysts suggest that this operation is a strategic move amidst ongoing confusion within Israeli military ranks, particularly in light of Hezbollah's ability to launch hundreds of drones and missiles. Observers note that the attack may pave the way for further retaliatory operations, signaling a potential shift in the dynamics of the conflict.
While some Iranian officials view Hezbollah's actions as a direct response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, others emphasize that the operation is more closely related to the killing of military commander Fouad Shukr. The situation remains fluid, with expectations of continued escalation in the region as Iran and its allies prepare for further confrontations with Israel.
