Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israel's intelligence base and discussed the ongoing conflict against Hezbollah. He appealed to the Lebanese people for peace and justified the actions against Hezbollah. Netanyahu stated, 'We said yesterday that our fight is not with you, and you should seek safe places.'
PM Netanyahu addressed, 'Our battle is not with you but with Hezbollah. Nasrallah is leading you to the brink of destruction. As I mentioned yesterday, evacuate homes where missiles are stored, where missiles are in the living room and rockets are in the garage, as they will not be safe. Free yourselves from the clutches of Hezbollah and Nasrallah, for it is in your best interest.'

Israel Launches Campaigns Against Hezbollah
Israel has opened a second front against Hezbollah. The military is continuously bombing targets in this area. After the recent bombings of pagers and walkie-talkie units, Israel has launched significant campaigns against Hezbollah and is conducting persistent rocket and missile attacks. Today, Israeli forces killed a major Hezbollah rocket division commander, Ibrahim Kubaisi.
Rising Danger of Conflict on Another Front
The Israeli military has previously neutralized several Hezbollah commanders, and continuous attacks are ongoing. Lebanese sources report that six people were killed in one such attack. While Hezbollah is retaliating with rocket attacks, it has faced significant setbacks in the confrontation so far. The increasing incidents of attacks and counter-attacks heighten the possibility of a large-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah on another front.

Potential Consequences if War Erupts with Hezbollah
This conflict could once again pose challenges for the world, particularly in oil production. If so, crude oil prices will escalate in the global market, affecting the cost of petrol and diesel. Moreover, Lebanon's strategic location in the Middle East means a full-scale war could disrupt global trade and lead to a resurgence in inflation.
