The relationship between Hezbollah and Israel has always been fraught with tension, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent threat of Lebanon’s destruction marks a potential escalation of this decades-long conflict. Hezbollah, originally founded in the 1980s in response to Israel’s invasion of Lebanon, has grown into one of the most powerful non-state military organizations in the region. Netanyahu’s warning, in which he compares Lebanon’s potential future to the devastation in Gaza, serves as a reminder of just how fragile peace between these two entities has been.

In his address, Netanyahu highlighted Israel’s recent successes, including the alleged killing of key Hezbollah commanders. While this has not been confirmed by Hezbollah, it shows Israel’s intention to strike at the heart of the group’s leadership. For Israel, eliminating Hezbollah’s military capability is essential to securing its northern borders, which have been a flashpoint for conflict.

Hezbollah, however, is far from a passive actor in this unfolding drama. The group has vowed to continue its strikes on Israeli territory in solidarity with Gaza’s resistance. As Netanyahu orders more troops to Lebanon and expands airstrikes, Hezbollah’s deputy leader, Naim Qassem, has assured the Lebanese people that Hezbollah remains in control despite Israeli strikes.

The history between Israel and Hezbollah is one of cycles of conflict, with brief moments of uneasy ceasefires. But with Netanyahu’s latest rhetoric and the continued military exchanges, the situation is beginning to resemble previous wars that left Lebanon devastated. If history is any guide, the current trajectory may lead to a renewed full-scale conflict that will have lasting repercussions for both Lebanon and Israel.

Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries.
