An alleged Israeli attack on Hezbollah members through their pagers is propelling the Middle East towards a potential regional war. The sophisticated strike has prompted Hezbollah to consider retaliation, backed by Iran's 'axis of resistance.'

The attack, which the US has reportedly attributed to Israel, aimed to disrupt Hezbollah's communication systems. The unprecedented targeting of pagers resulted in 11 deaths and thousands of injuries, escalating fears of a broader conflict.

The incident follows increased hostilities since Hamas' October 7 attacks on Israel, with Israeli leadership declaring an intent to neutralize Hezbollah. The pager explosions may signal an impending Israeli offensive, further risking a wider conflict involving Iran and the United States.
