Israel has launched a week-long campaign of intense military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, leading to fears of a major war. Israel has conducted airstrikes and bombings, targeting Hezbollah's military capabilities close to the border. The Israeli Defence Forces may continue with airstrikes to degrade Hezbollah's military capabilities without risking soldiers on the ground. However, there is also the possibility of a limited ground invasion to secure the border, which would be a major military undertaking. A full-scale invasion could risk all-out war and devastating consequences for both Lebanon and Israel. Despite the risks, there is still hope for a negotiated settlement and de-escalation of the conflict.
