Netanyahu Warns of 'Intense Action' Amid Escalating Israel-Hezbollah Clashes

June 6, 20242:16

Israeli officials are considering an offensive on the country’s border with Lebanon if attacks from Hezbollah do not stop. Israeli forces have exchanged cross-border attacks with Hezbollah for months, but the fighting has escalated recently. Hezbollah rockets have sparked bushfires that have displaced thousands of Israelis and Lebanese have also had to abandon their homes in towns near the border with Israel. 

Joe Macaron, Global Fellow with the Middle East Program, provides insight into the escalating tensions. He looks at what factors are contributing to the increased violence, the likelihood of a second front in the war, and the pressures facing both sides of the conflict.
