ISRAEL ATTACKS “HEZBOLLAH” IN LEBANON

The feared second front, that of Hezbollah in Lebanon, in the war between Israel and Hamas, has finally exploded: it all started with the unusual explosion of numerous pagers (call receivers), then resulted in an attack massive and continuous use of the Israeli Air Force against Hezbollah military installations, leading up to a “limited invasion” of Lebanon. In addition, a new front, even more insidious, has also opened: that of Iran. Tehran, wanting to avenge the death of the Hezbollah leader, launched ballistic missiles on Israeli territory. The government in Tel Aviv has already announced that there will be a strong reaction, which could lead to an extension of the conflict throughout the Middle East.
