from the 27th to the 28th local time, israeli warplanes launched intensive air strikes on the lebanese hezbollah headquarters and other targets located in the southern suburbs of the lebanese capital, beirut, resulting in the death of hezbollah leader nasrallah and many others.
in fact, in the past three months, especially since israel launched a large-scale air strike on lebanon on september 23, many senior commanders of the hezbollah armed forces have been "targeted for elimination."
nasrallah's death sparked a new round of anger among anti-israel forces in the region. the lebanese hezbollah armed forces, the iraqi militia armed forces, and the yemeni houthi armed forces have launched retaliatory attacks against targets in israel.
iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei emphasized in a statement on the 28th that the israeli regime has obviously not learned lessons from the gaza conflict and that all resistance forces in the middle east will stand with lebanese hezbollah and provide support to it. the fate will be decided by the resistance."

the associated press stated that the assassination of nasrallah was the "most significant" "targeted killing" carried out by israel in many years and would significantly escalate the situation in the middle east.

seeing that israel has lit a new cannon into the current regional crisis, as the only country that can exert a decisive influence on israel, the actions of the united states at this critical moment have once again greatly disappointed the international community.
'no one seems able to stop netanyahu'
in the past week, the israeli military's continued intensification of military operations against hezbollah in lebanon was basically carried out simultaneously with the general debate of the new session of the united nations general assembly.
the international community is generally worried that the conflict will escalate into a full-scale war, and many parties warned in their speeches that lebanon should not be allowed to become "another gaza."
△afp: imran riza, the united nations humanitarian coordinator in lebanon, said that the escalation of the lebanese-israeli conflict is a catastrophic event. “we are witnessing the deadliest period for lebanon in an entire generation, and many fear this is just the beginning."
israel's simultaneous attack on lebanon amid concerns and warnings from the outside world is enough to show that the netanyahu government's military actions in the middle east have reached a point where it has no fear.
and what it "relies on" is the self-confidence that "no one can control me".
recently, at the initiative of france, 12 countries and organizations including the united states and france jointly called for an immediate ceasefire between israel and lebanese hezbollah for 21 days in order to start negotiations and resolve the issue through diplomatic channels.
but this proposal was quickly poured cold water on by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. according to the prime minister's office, any reports of an imminent ceasefire are incorrect.
△the social media statement of the israeli prime minister’s office: this is a proposal from the united states and france (etc.), and the prime minister (netanyahu) did not even respond to it.
perhaps to appease the united states, the israeli prime minister's office issued a "contradictory" statement hours later, acknowledging that the u.s.-led ceasefire call was issued in coordination with israel, and israel thanked the united states for its efforts.

but this was obviously just appeasement, because shortly afterwards, the israeli army launched violent air strikes on the southern suburbs of beirut.
in this regard, eu high representative for foreign affairs and security policy borrell told the media that he regretted that the united states could not "control" israel.
"what we are doing is applying all the diplomatic pressure to bring about a ceasefire, but no one seems to be able to stop netanyahu, neither in gaza nor in the west bank."

at this time, the united states once again surprised people.
u.s. president biden issued a statement on the 28th, not only calling israel’s “targeted killing” of nasrallah a “just act” but also emphasizing that “the united states fully supports israel in protecting itself from hezbollah, hamas, the houthis and any other rights violated by iran-backed armed groups.”
he also mentioned that the united states and israel had just reached a new agreement to provide israel with an additional aid package totaling up to us$8.7 billion to "help reduce the risk of a wider regional war."

"the united states just keeps changing the rules."
mark saad, a senior researcher at the middle east institute, a washington think tank, recently published an article in time magazine stating that the escalation of the lebanese-israeli conflict is an inevitable consequence of the prolongation of the palestinian-israeli conflict. "the middle east is already locked in a dangerous confrontation, and lebanon has once again become the stage for a tragedy that has only just begun."
however, the article expressed deep doubts about netanyahu's ability to "achieve his new war goals and allow tens of thousands of israelis to return to their homes in the north" on the grounds that "this will not be possible without a ceasefire in gaza."
the article stated that in the face of the dual "deadlock" between gaza and lebanon, as well as netanyahu's attempt to "promote de-escalation through escalation," the u.s. strategy for resolving these crises has collapsed.
"biden remains committed to helping israel and deterring iran, but he has little inclination to pressure netanyahu to accept a political solution before the u.s. election in november."

in a long commentary titled "'catastrophic failure': how biden encouraged israel to attack lebanon," qatar's al jazeera website warned that the united states' failure to end the conflict in gaza and prevent the escalation of the situation in lebanon is leading the middle east into a full-scale war.
the article quoted the analysis of many experts and pointed out that biden has said from the beginning that preventing regional war is the top priority of his government, but the united states has always provided firm diplomatic and military support to israel. it is the unconditional support of the united states that dares israel to provoke an apparent all-out war in lebanon and push the region to the edge of the abyss.

in the view of zogby, chairman of the american think tank "arab american association", the biden administration has always been a "passive enabler" of netanyahu. "if they (the us government) don't know this, it's their fault." shame. it's a double shame on them if they knew this and let it happen."
khalil, a history professor at syracuse university in the united states, questioned that the so-called "diplomatic efforts" carried out by the biden administration in the middle east were only due to domestic political needs on the eve of the election. "all of these are negotiations for the sake of negotiation."
elkindi, a senior researcher at the american middle east institute, criticized that washington is the only player that can impose restrictions on israel, but it has always refused to do so for political selfishness.
"the united states has always refused to take action on issues such as humanitarianism, protecting civilians, and promoting ceasefires, so it will not do so now to prevent the expansion of regional wars. the united states will only keep changing the rules and redefining the escalation of regional situations as something else. thing."
