Israel wants to push back Hezbollah with its ground offensive. What will happen to the displaced people in southern Lebanon? And what from the border region? A radical group already has ideas.
Units of the Israeli army invaded Lebanon on Tuesday night. They want to carry out “targeted” raids near the border, uncover and destroy Hezbollah structures and push the militia away from the border. Israel is not planning a major offensive or re-occupying southern Lebanon, it is said. The country’s army describes the action as a “limited” ground operation against Hezbollah. But thousands of people in southern Lebanon fear the worse. The first Lebanon War began with a “limited offensive” in 1982, resulting in thousands of deaths.
