"BEIRUT (AP) — After more than eight months of low-scale conflict, Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah are threatening all-out war.
The United States and the international community are lobbying for calm and hopeful for a diplomatic solution. They have not been successful so far and time for a political settlement could be expiring."

"Israel believes Hezbollah possesses around 150,000 rockets and missiles, including the Iranian Fateh-110 and Zelzal-2, capable of striking deep into Israeli territory with high precision. This large and sophisticated arsenal has the potential to overwhelm Israel's Iron Dome air-defense system in the event of an all-out war.
The group also extensively employs drones, such as the Shahed 136, for reconnaissance and offensive operations, enhancing Hezbollah's ability to gather intelligence and carry out targeted attacks.
Hezbollah's arsenal includes advanced Russian-made Yakhont and Chinese Silkworm anti-ship missiles, each with a range of about 186 miles. Although Israeli air superiority largely remains unchallenged, Hezbollah's anti-aircraft defenses have seen marked improvements.
With over 100,000 fighters as claimed by Nasrallah, its long-serving leader, Hezbollah boasts a fighting force considerably larger than that of Hamas. And like Hamas, the group has developed an extensive network of tunnels in southern Lebanon, providing strategic advantages and protection against Israeli airstrikes.
Hezbollah's military strategy involves the use of precision-guided munitions and high-yield missiles that represent a significant threat to specific targets that eclipses the less-sophisticated rockets and mortars lobbed into Israel by Hamas."

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that the "intensive" phase of Israel's offensive in Gaza will soon conclude, but the broader war effort against Hamas will persist. Netanyahu's comments signal a potential shift in focus to the northern border, where tensions with Hezbollah are escalating. This development comes amid ongoing clashes with the Biden administration over cease-fire proposals and concerns about a wider regional conflict."
