Al-Akhbar: Hezbollah neutralized Israel’s pressure tool / Shift in equation with Iran’s political and military role

Pars Today – The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar wrote that Hezbollah has neutralized Israel’s pressure leverage, despite the Israeli regime’s attempts—under U.S. backing—to impose a new field and political reality in Lebanon.

According to Pars Today, citing IRNA, Al-Akhbar reported on the latest political and military developments on the Lebanon front, stating that the Israeli regime, in full coordination and support from the United States, threatened on Monday to expand its military operations and strike Beirut’s southern suburb (Dahiyeh) in an effort to impose a new field and political reality in Lebanon and protect settlements in northern occupied Palestine.

In response, Hezbollah carried out 35 diverse military operations within a short period, countering these threats, according to the report.

Hezbollah, in these diverse operations carried out in response to the ongoing Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon—particularly the areas of Tyre and Nabatieh—also targeted Israeli settlements along the northern border of occupied Palestine and deeper areas within it.

At the same time, the Islamic Republic of Iran, amid this escalation, entered the political and military confrontation with force and outlined a new equation. The basis of this equation was Iran’s non-direct involvement in the fighting and refraining from targeting northern occupied Palestine, in exchange for the Israeli regime’s non-attack on Beirut and the Dahiyeh area.

Meanwhile, Lebanon’s resistance continued its direct operations against Israeli settlements in northern occupied Palestine in response to Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon.

In the same context, the Israeli newspaper Maariv described the Israeli army’s decision to expand ground operations in southern Lebanon to counter Hezbollah’s effective drone attacks as futile, writing that such ground actions would not change the strategic situation on the battlefield and would only expose Israeli soldiers to greater risk.

Earlier, Barak Sari, a strategic adviser to the Israeli regime, also said that the regime is deeply mired in the “Lebanon quagmire.”
