Israeli airstrikes near Aleppo on Tuesday resulted in casualties among civilians and military personnel, with a total of 38 people killed, including five members of Hezbollah. The Israel Defense Forces initiated the attack, but have declined to provide any comments in response to the incident.
This latest attack comes in the midst of Israel’s ongoing military campaign against Iran-backed groups in Syria. Previous strikes by Israel in the country have been aimed at preventing Iran from using Syria as a base for aggression. The recent airstrikes are some of the deadliest to date, as Israel intensifies its efforts to target these groups.
Experts believe that the recent attacks may now be focusing on Hezbollah and its assets in Syria. Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based militant group, has a strong presence in Syria and has been fighting alongside Iran-aligned forces in support of President Bashar al-Assad. This involvement has raised concerns about a potential escalation of regional conflict due to Hezbollah’s intense cross-border fighting with Israel.
It is speculated that Israel may be targeting Hezbollah in Syria as a way to escalate tensions without directly engaging the group in Lebanon. This strategy could be a response to Hezbollah’s increasing involvement in the Syrian conflict and its potential threat to Israeli security.
The escalating violence in Syria raises fears of a wider conflict in the region, as Israel continues to target Iran-backed groups in the country. The situation remains tense as both sides navigate the complex web of alliances and conflicts in the Middle East.
