on september 27, local time, the general debate of the 79th session of the united nations general assembly was held at the united nations headquarters in new york. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu banged the podium hard to show his tough stance. at the same time, several israeli warplanes dropped thousands of kilograms of "bunker bombs" on the southern suburbs of beirut, the capital of lebanon, razing many residential buildings to the ground. according to the israel defense forces, several senior lebanese hezbollah leaders, including hassan nasrallah, were killed on the spot.
nasrallah himself has great influence
his whereabouts have been controlled by the israeli military for a long time
as one of the founders and current leader of lebanese hezbollah, nasrallah was once considered by the outside world to be one of the most influential people in the middle east. for many years, he himself has regarded himself as an opponent of israel, and the israel defense forces have admitted that nasrallah is "one of the most powerful enemies" in israel's history.
before the air strike on the 27th, the israeli army had completed the "targeted killing" operation against many senior members of hezbollah in lebanon, but the news of nasrallah's death still shocked many people. it is reported that the israeli military had grasped the movements of nasrallah and the location of hezbollah headquarters a few months ago. an opinion article published in the times of israel stated that it is unfair to the top leader of hezbollah. the successful air strike not only fully demonstrated israel's military and intelligence capabilities, but also completely changed the "rules of the game" between israel and lebanon.
hezbollah’s internal organization is tight
the combat effectiveness of the leader was not significantly weakened after the attack.
the detailed internal structure of the lebanese hezbollah, founded in 1982, has never been known. long-term observations by reporters from the main station show that this political and military organization has a relatively tight grassroots organization and a strong sense of existence. places such as the valley and the southern suburbs of beirut have even partially replaced local government functions.
since the outbreak of the lebanese-israeli conflict, lebanese hezbollah has published more than 500 obituaries, including high-level members who were killed by israeli air strikes in lebanon, as well as hezbollah personnel who died in syria and fire fighters belonging to the "pan-hezbollah" system. , medical and other department members, among which the casualty ratio of hezbollah’s grassroots personnel is much lower than that of its middle and high-level personnel. therefore, some lebanese media said that trying to paralyze hezbollah by "assassinating" senior leaders was a political gamble by israel, especially prime minister netanyahu himself.
the situation between lebanon and israel is unprecedentedly tense
israel threatens airstrike on beirut airport
facts have proved this. however, starting from the morning of the 28th, northern and central israel, the golan heights under its occupation, and even the jewish settlements in the palestinian west bank have still encountered multiple threats of attacks from lebanon, including hezbollah in the past year. rockets and drones are constantly used, as well as long-range rockets and even surface-to-surface missiles. most of these weapons were successfully intercepted by the israeli air defense system or fell into open areas. they did not cause direct casualties, but they continued to touch the already tense nerves of the people.
not only that, the israeli military has readjusted its public safety and defense guidelines for the public, limiting the number of outdoor gatherings in central israel and asking people in the north to stay near air defense shelters as much as possible. tel aviv, israel's largest city, also issued an order on the evening of the 27th all public shelters in the city are open.
israel defense forces spokesman hagari said bluntly that although nasrallah has been killed, lebanese hezbollah still retains strong strength with a total of 150,000 missiles and rockets of various types. therefore, the israeli military will continue to carry out counterattacks. air strikes against targets in lebanon until all people originally living in northern israel can safely return to their homes.
but the tense situation has long gone beyond the palestinian-israeli region and lebanon. after the large-scale air strikes began, israeli warplanes continued to patrol the skies above beirut international airport in lebanon, claiming to prevent any possibility of delivering weapons to hezbollah and prohibit any iranian aircraft from landing, otherwise they would launch an attack on the airport. on the morning of the 28th, a plane flying from iran to lebanon was forced to turn back over beirut.
gaza ceasefire talks flounder
israel may face multi-front war
the already difficult ceasefire negotiations in gaza have also been cast a thick shadow. khalil haya, a member of the political bureau of the palestinian islamic resistance movement (hamas) and the head of gaza negotiations, said after the attack on nasrallah that israel’s air strikes will never lead to the defeat of the “resistance movement”. on the contrary, god the death of the party leader will be "the beginning of a new phase of revenge" against israel. the latest news released by the israeli military shows that in order to prevent palestinian armed personnel from launching coordinated attacks, the israeli army is urgently recruiting three reserve battalions and plans to deploy them to the west bank area.
even more worrying is the possibility that conflicts can occur on multiple fronts simultaneously. after nasrallah's death was confirmed, iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei said that all "resistance forces" in the region stand with hezbollah and provide it with support. the iraqi militia "islamic resistance" claimed that the organization launched a drone attack on an "important target" in tel aviv that day. yahya sarria, military spokesman for the houthi armed forces in yemen, claimed that the houthi armed forces used a "palestinian type 2" ballistic missile to attack israel's ben gurion international airport.
netanyahu’s statement attracts attention
people look forward to the early return of peace
on the evening of september 28, local time, israeli prime minister netanyahu gave his first video speech after the lebanese hezbollah leader nasrallah was killed in an israeli air strike.
netanyahu said, "the elimination of nasrallah is crucial to ensuring the safe return of residents of northern israel and will help promote the release of israeli detainees in the gaza strip."
he stressed that israel would not stop its military operations.
netanyahu also said, "there is no place in iran or the middle east that israel's 'long arm' cannot reach."
on the same day, lebanese caretaker prime minister najib mikati held a cabinet meeting in beirut. participants stood up and observed a moment of silence before the meeting to express their condolences to nasrallah.
in the evening of the 28th, hundreds of marchers gathered in a square in the center of jerusalem, shouting the slogan "stop the war, free the hostages." people cannot predict when a larger-scale regional conflict will come, and once a conflict occurs, no one may be able to control the duration and scope of the conflict.
