Conflicts in the Middle East are causing increasing concern for many parties, especially along Israel's borders. Lebanon is becoming more violent and could become a second Gaza.
A barrage of counterattacks between the Israeli Self-Defense Forces and Hezbollah in the southern region of Lebanon and we recently saw pictures of the damage to a village located in a city that is considered a stronghold of the Hezbollah fighting group.

The village, located just one kilometer from the Israeli border, has been subjected to heavy shelling by the Israeli Self-Defense Forces for months. A Reuters analysis of satellite images taken on June 5 shows that at least 64 areas in Aita al-Shaab have been destroyed, with many buildings in the affected areas.
Israeli bombing. As a result, the area adjacent to the Lebanese border is no longer livable. Most of the approximately 13,500 villagers have been evacuated to escape the explosion since last October. This was around the same time that Israel began bombing the building. And nearby forest areas
Despite the recent conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, a militant group based in southern Lebanon and backed by Iran, it remains at a controlled level. But this was the worst confrontation between the two sides in 18 years and caused widespread damage to buildings and agricultural areas in southern Lebanon and northern Israel.
On the Israeli side, it was initially expected that about 2,000 buildings in the northern region would be damaged. About 2,700 homes were destroyed. More than 22,000 homes sustained minor to moderate damage.
This was the reason for the recent wave of violent clashes between these two groups. Since the outbreak of war on Gaza in October last year, or the day after Israel declared war. Hezbollah launched a missile attack on northern Israel. Before Israel responded with a large-scale attack.
Although the devastation in Aita al-Shaab is comparable to the damage caused in the conflict nearly 20 years ago, residents there say the escalation of the attack is more serious and the use of heavy weapons has created anxiety for them.
Heavy fighting on the border between Israel and Lebanon is not only affecting the way of life of people on both sides of the border. It is also causing loss of life. According to Reuters, fires in northern Israel caused by attacks from the Lebanese side have killed 18 soldiers and 10 civilians.
The Israeli raids killed more than 300 Hezbollah fighters and killed 87 civilians, including at least 10 from the group who were killed from Aita al-Sha'a and several surrounding areas.
The Israeli Self-Defense Forces confirmed this and considered the attack on the Hezbollah target in Aita al-Saab an act of self-defense. The important question is why did Israel choose to attack targets in Aita al-Saab?
The city of Aita al-Shaab is located on top of a mountain. Southern Lebanon is considered an important stronghold for Hezbollah. The region has become the group's first line of defense since 2006, when Israel and Hezbollah launched a large-scale war for 34 days. That war began when Hezbollah fighters used the city as a means to infiltrate Israel. Two Israeli soldiers were arrested throughout that war. Hezbollah used the city as a military base and succeeded in expelling Israel.
Seth Gee said. Jones, senior vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said the region is of military importance in several ways, including as a strategic operating base for Hezbollah. It can launch short-range missiles to attack Israel and is used as a line of defense against Israeli forces.
Another analyst from King's College London said that the region was and remains a stronghold of the organization. Therefore, it is of strategic importance for Israel. However, this analyst is concerned that the conflict will expand and intensify because Hezbollah is stronger today than it was in the past. There are missiles that can destroy it.
Another important battlefield is the Gaza Strip, where the Israeli Self-Defense Forces reportedly launched air strikes in several areas. Recently, at least 12 more people were killed, causing Palestinians to flee in terror.
Footage from yesterday's incident (June 27) shows Palestinians living in the Shujaiya neighborhood of Gaza City screaming and running to find shelter as the dead and wounded lay on the road.

The Israeli Self-Defense Forces issued a warning to civilians living in the area to evacuate to the southern area for safety. Before launching the attack, it claimed to have received a tip-off from the intelligence agency that Hamas fighters were hiding among the civilians.
The Israeli military said several attacks had exposed terrorist groups hiding in schools. The infrastructure of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA, has already seen dozens of people wiped out. That has prompted Palestinians to come out and appeal for international help, insisting that what is happening to them is not just genocide. But they are also being forced to emigrate amid famine.
As for the situation in the city of Khan Yunis, located in the south of the Gaza Strip, it is also mentioned that Israel used F-16 planes to launch air strikes on Al-Khansaa School. From the picture you can see that some buildings have been destroyed. It received severe damage. In some areas, piles of rubble were found. And the large concrete. A Palestinian refugee says: Such an attack occurred while he was sleeping in the tent, and then pieces of concrete were found falling like raindrops. There was a fire too.
As for the movement in Jerusalem, Israel, it was reported that anti-Israeli government protesters participated in a march. They gathered in front of the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. They lit a fire on the road outside the house. He called on Netanyahu to resign from his position. During the said gathering there are strict security guards. But there was no serious accident. Or the association's dissolution occurred while many demonstrators and it is estimated that thousands of people chanted in support of reaching an agreement to release 120 Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
