Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have escalated significantly, with Israeli airstrikes targeting key areas in Lebanon and Hezbollah launching rockets and drones into northern Israel. Both sides have yet to label the escalating conflict as a war, but the intensity and scale of the violence make it a distinct possibility.

According to Israeli officials, their objective is not to initiate a war, provided Hezbollah ceases its attacks and pulls back from the border. Similarly, Hezbollah claims it seeks to avoid war but has vowed to continue striking Israel until a cease-fire in Gaza is achieved.

Monday marked one of the deadliest days, with Israeli airstrikes killing over 270 people in Lebanon, heightening fears of an all-out war. Military analysts and experts suggest that while full-scale war has not yet erupted, continued hostilities could easily escalate further.
