An Israeli explosion has rocked southern Beirut, crossing one other so-called crimson line for Hezbollah.
The killing of senior commanders and civilians is one other main breach of safety for the group, with Lebanon already on edge for years. Its international minister informed an emergency assembly of the UN Safety Council that no person is secure.
With Israel diverting its focus and forces to the north, is it making ready a floor invasion for what it calls the “second section of the conflict” on Gaza?
How a lot of a blow is all this for Hezbollah? And is the area already at conflict?
