Israel-Hezbollah War: The tension in the Middle East has increased further, when Israel launched strong retaliatory attacks on Hezbollah and Hamas bases in response to Iran's attack of 180 missiles. The Israeli army carried out airstrikes late at night near Beirut airport, in which the sky of the entire region resonated with 10 airstrikes one after the other. Along with this, the ground operation of the Israeli army is also going on, in which it has targeted the prominent leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah.

The Israeli army has claimed that it has killed Hamas chief Zahi Yasser Abd al-Razek Aoufi. At the same time, according to news agency Reuters, a reporter said that senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddin was also targeted in the Israeli attack. Safieddin is considered a possible successor to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. However, no official statement has come from any side in this regard yet.

In response, Hezbollah has also made a big claim on its part, saying that they have killed 17 officers and soldiers of the Israeli army. The situation is becoming very delicate, and violent conflict between the two sides is increasing continuously.

The Israeli army said on Friday that it had targeted and killed the head of the Hamas network in the Tulkaram area of ​​​​the West Bank. This Hamas terrorist has been identified as Zahi Yasser Abd al-Razek Aufi. At the same time, Axios reporter Barak Ravid posted on the social media platform X that Israel had targeted senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddin during the airstrike on Beirut. There is believed to be a big strategy behind this attack, as Safieddin played an important role in Hezbollah.

Speculation of possible Israeli attack on Iran

Speculation of possible retaliation against Iran from Israel is also increasing, especially regarding the possibility of an attack on its oil wells. However, Israel has not yet decided how it will respond to Iran's attack. US President Joe Biden has already made it clear that if Israel attacks Iran's nuclear sites, the US will not support it. But when asked about the attack on Iran's oil wells, he refused to say anything publicly on it.

After Biden's statement, the global oil market was stirred and oil prices have jumped. Traders fear that increasing tensions in the Middle East could lead to disruptions in oil supplies. Apart from this, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon told CNN that Israel has many options against Iran and will soon show its military strength to Tehran.

This conflict in the Middle East has raised the concern of the international community, as it not only threatens regional stability but can also have a profound impact on global energy supplies. It will be important to see what the future consequences of this growing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah will be.
