Lebanon is bracing for almost certain retaliation from Israel as diplomats scramble to prevent all-out war engulfing the Middle East
Lebanon is bracing for an all-but-certain retaliation from Israel after a suspected Hezbollah attack killed 12 children and teenagers at a football field in the Golan Heights on Saturday Britons have been urged to leave Lebanon as the Middle East braces for an almost certain escalation in violence and leadersAn FCDO spokesperson said: “If you are currently in Lebanon, we encourage you to leave, while commercial options remain available.
Smoke billows from a site targeted by the Israeli military in the southern Lebanese border village of Kafr Kila on Monday Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, vowed heavy retaliation against the Lebanese militant group, which retracted an initial admission that it was behind the rocket attack on a football field where children were playing on Saturday.A US official told the Saudi Arabian news outlet Al Arabiya that the missile was launched by the Iran-backed militants.
Around 300 friends and relatives of the children protested against his visit, accusing him of exploiting the bloodshed for political gain and calling for an end to the violence. Mourners surround the coffins of the young people killed in a rocket strike from Lebanon during a mass funeral in Majdal Shams on Sunday
“In those cases then the potential for a response from Hezbollah significantly changes and that’s where I think the concern is.” “Then you get a real risk of Hezbollah deciding, ‘we know our reaction is going to start a full-scale war, so there is no value in not having a first-mover advantage’, so that means launching a very heavy response.”
