Stephen Kalin: 我目前在贝鲁特报道这场冲突。以色列对黎巴嫩边境的袭击,虽然以色列官方称之为“有限入侵”,但实际上已经演变成一场战争,这正是我过去一年一直试图避免,并希望不会发生的事情。以色列的目标是清除黎巴嫩南部真主党势力,以保障北部以色列居民的安全,并使其能够返回家园。然而,这一目标难以实现,因为黎巴嫩军队无力控制真主党。以色列的行动可能导致长期占领,但这并非其公开目标,美国也不支持。以色列公开表示不希望战争扩大到地区范围,但其行动风险很高。美国支持以色列,但同时也在努力阻止伊朗卷入冲突。以色列将此次行动视为打击真主党威胁的机会,但同时面临多线作战的挑战,包括加沙地带、约旦河西岸以及来自伊拉克、叙利亚和也门的威胁。以色列警告伊朗,如果伊朗袭击以色列,以色列将予以反击。伊朗目前表示没有向真主党派遣部队的计划。美国警告伊朗不要直接介入冲突,并预计伊朗将对以色列发动导弹袭击,并表示将援助以色列。真主党在最近几周遭受了重大打击,其作战能力受到了削弱。真主党目前面临的挑战是,其是否能够抵御以色列的攻势,或者是否会发动游击战。纳斯鲁拉的死对内塔尼亚胡来说是一场重大胜利,对真主党具有重要的象征意义和实际影响。 Jared Malson: 哈桑·纳斯鲁拉是中东地区最重要的人物之一,他的死对真主党是一个巨大的打击。纳斯鲁拉的故事始于20世纪80年代初真主党的成立,当时以色列入侵黎巴嫩。伊朗革命对真主党的形成和纳斯鲁拉的思想产生了重要影响。纳斯鲁拉是一位极具魅力的公众演说家,他的演讲对整个地区都有影响,但他公开呼吁对以色列进行恐怖袭击。纳斯鲁拉的主要胜利包括以色列在2000年从黎巴嫩南部撤军以及2006年俘获以色列士兵引发的战争。纳斯鲁拉的死在阿拉伯世界引发了褒贬不一的反应,一部分人庆祝他的死,一部分人哀悼他的死。在叙利亚内战中,纳斯鲁拉支持阿萨德政权,这导致他在该地区的一些人眼中成为不受欢迎的人物。纳斯鲁拉的死在黎巴嫩国内也引发了褒贬不一的反应。真主党尚未任命纳斯鲁拉的继任者,并在过去几个月损失了一批高级领导人。消灭真主党并非易事,因为该组织有很强的韧性,即使真主党受到削弱,它也不会消失。

While Israel claims its actions are limited and targeted, there are growing concerns about a wider conflict.

  • Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel and the occupied Golan Heights.
  • Israel's military actions are raising concerns about a wider conflict in the region.
  • The IDF aims to clear Hezbollah forces from southern Lebanon to ensure the safety of northern Israel.
