Israel-Hezbollah War: Today, Israel is facing a deep crisis situation. Hezbollah, a terrorist organization backed by Iran, attempted to launch a serious and well-planned attack. Israel was informed about this plan in advance, and as a result, the Israeli army responded immediately. In this article, we will see how Israel foiled this attack and understand the significance behind it.Hezbollah's attack planHezbollah had planned an attack of 6000 rockets on Israel. It was a comprehensive and explosive plan, which the Israeli security agencies had made full preparations to make it completely unsuccessful. Even before the attack, Israel attacked Hezbollah's bases in Lebanon by sending more than 100 fighter jets from all its airbases. The aim of this attack was to destroy Hezbollah's weapons depots, which included thousands of rockets and missiles.Israel's quick responseIsrael carried out quick and precise attacks on Hezbollah's weapons depots. The attack on 40 targets succeeded in causing serious damage to Hezbollah's rocket and missile capability. Subsequently, Hezbollah fired more than 320 rockets at Israel, including Katyusha rockets. These attacks targeted 11 Israeli military targets, including the Meron base and four sites in the Golan Heights.Israel's defense systemAlthough Hezbollah targeted several Israeli targets, Israel's defense system worked brilliantly. 200 of the 320 rockets were intercepted by Israel. Meanwhile, several people are feared dead as a result of Hezbollah's attacks in northern Israel. Hezbollah also claimed to have attacked the headquarters of Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency.Current situation and potential impactA state of emergency has been declared in Israel for 48 hours after Hezbollah's attacks. Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Galant announced this emergency, and PM Netanyahu has called a meeting of the security cabinet. At present, air travel in the country is also being affected, and landing and take-off at Ben Gurion International Airport have been stopped for the time being.Rising tension in the Middle EastThis conflict has further increased tension in the Middle East. Since the death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Iran, Iran and Hezbollah were determined to take revenge against Israel. Thus, this conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is giving rise to important developments not only regionally but also globally.ConclusionIsrael effectively thwarted Hezbollah's attack, but this conflict has made it clear how volatile the situation is in the Middle East. This conflict between Hezbollah and Israel is not just a military confrontation, but it could also be a turning point for regional and global politics. Given the depth of this conflict and its potential consequences, it is essential that the international community understands this crisis and takes concrete measures to deal with it.
